  old "And then, when I wanted to talk about our future, it all fell apart..."
  new "然后，当我想谈谈我们的未来之时，一切都坍塌了......"

  old "The skeleton"
  new "那个骸骨"

  old "What would it feel like, creeping around here in the dark with mischief in mind? Trying to move by stealth over uncertain ground, not knowing who might be on watch, every sound a possible danger?"
  new "在这样的环境里带着坏心思鬼鬼祟祟地行动，会是什么感觉？偷偷地在看不清的道路上行走，不知道有没有人在巡逻，听到的每个声响是不是都让人草木皆兵？"

  old "We now return to {i}Until we Meet Again{/i}..."
  new "现在我们回到{i}《待到重逢时》{/i}……"

  old "Jackie blinks a few times, but doesn't ask about the fish."
  new "杰基眨了眨眼，但没有问鱼的事。"

  old "Also, the palmistry symbols are always drawn inside the finger shapes, not over them."
  new "此外，手相符号通常画在手指轮廓内部，而不会画在轮廓以外。"

  old "It's not charitable, but she reminds me straight away of the lunch lady at my old high school, a horrible woman who had no sympathy for anyone who'd forgotten their food or thrown away their retainer."
  new "虽然这么说不太厚道，但她一下子就让我想起了我高中的食堂阿姨，一个可怕的女人，根本不会同情那些忘记带饭或者丢了牙套的人。"

  old "Well, the covers feature the leather bikinis. My actual heroines usually wear more armor than that, but my agent insists that the 'infiltrating a slaver pit' look sells more copies."
  new "确实，封面上确实是穿着皮质比基尼的女角色。其实我的女主角们通常穿盔甲，但我的经纪人坚持认为“潜入奴隶商人洞穴”的造型更能卖得动。"

  old "Besides, I used to babysit for Mr. Williams's daughter. He's a good man. He keeps them polite. And Jackie's been... very professional."
  new "再说了，我以前曾帮威廉姆斯先生照看过女儿。他是个好人，属下管教得很好。而且，杰基一直……很专业。"

  old "I turn the receiver away from my face and coax Timmy off my legs so that I can stand to hang up."
  new "我把听筒拿开，轻轻地把提米从我的腿上弄下来，好让我站起来挂电话。"

  old "The Mount of Venus. The Plain of Mars. The Finger of Jupiter."
  new "像是金星丘啦，火星平原啦，木星指啦。"

  old "And I'm better at making friends in person than on the phone."
  new "而我更擅长与人面对面打交道，而不是在手机打电话。"

  old "Don't worry. I wouldn't say anything. We both have reputations to protect."
  new "别担心，我不会说出去的。我们都得注意名声。"

  old "Or it could just be sloppy painting."
  new "或者说其实只是画得比较潦草。"

  old "But then, I don't really want to get into anything dangerous either."
  new "不过，我也不想卷入什么危险的事情。"

  old "It's peaceful here. We're far enough from the big road that I'm not hearing a lot of traffic noise, just trees. A nice place to have a picnic."
  new "这里很安静，是个野餐的好地方，远离繁忙的主干道，几乎听不到车流的喧嚣，只有树木的沙沙声。"

  old "I - I wanted to come here to check the orientation of those logs, so I could update my notes about the layout of the symbols."
  new "我——我想来这里检查一下那些木桩的方位，好更新符号布局的记录。"

  old "Have you rearranged the store at all since the vandals struck? Changed your merchandise, moved anything out of sight?"
  new "自从破坏者闯入后，你有没有重新整理过店铺？比如说更换商品，或者把什么东西移到不显眼的地方？"

  old "That doesn't prove what the perp's intent was."
  new "这并不能证明罪犯的意图。"

  old "No witness reports, so it could have happened any time after closing the day before."
  new "没有目击者报告，所以这件事可能发生在前天晚上关门后的任何时间。"

  old "All I knew was that I wanted to be around her as much as I could - and that even when we were together, I wanted something more."
  new "我只知道，我想尽可能多待在她的身边——即使我们已经在一起时，我也渴望得到更多。"

  old "Of course, about the case. Um."

  new "队长告诉我了一些大致情况，但是文件夹里还有很多背景信息我还没看。"

  old "Yeah. Whatever."
  new "嗯嗯嗯。随便吧。"

  old "I never expected to see her again. I don't know what I might have thought could happen. I never let myself dwell on it."
  new "我从未料到会再见到她。我也不知曾经心中是否有所期待，只是从未让自己太过纠结。"

  old "Anyone else? I mean, in your life?"
  new "别人呢？我是说，你生活里的人？"

  old "Wait, did I just ask her to dinner?"
  new "等下，我刚才是邀请她一起吃晚饭了吗？"

  old "Fire holds a central place in the majority of religions, so the presence of a fire itself doesn't point in any specific direction."
  new "在大多数宗教中，火占据主导地位。因此火本身的存在并不指向任何特定方向。"

  old "There's a large eye symbol in the center of the 'palm'."
  new "“手掌”的中心有一个巨大的眼睛符号。"

  old "So. What do you think?"
  new "所以，你怎么看？"

  old "Hello, Diane."
  new "你好，戴安娜。"

  old "And now there's this new thing reported. Shop's been vandalised. Weird symbols painted all over the windows."
  new "现在又报告了新状况，商店被人为破坏了，窗上被涂满了奇怪的符号。"

  old "I guess it's not usually that easy, is it?"
  new "我想这并不是那么容易，对吧？"

  old "Seeing her at a loss stiffens my spine. I pull out my notebook."
  new "看她一筹莫展的样子，我不由得强打精神，拿出了笔记本。"

  old "She always drank too much coffee. Especially after a late night."
  new "她总是喝太多咖啡，特别是在熬夜之后。"

  old "I don't know what these mean offhand, but they look Indian to me. I'll copy them down in my notebook so I can look up more information at home."

  old "I don't think there's anything important here. I'll just say 'books' for my list."
  new "我觉得这儿没什么重要的东西。我就在单子上写“书”吧。"

  old "We've got a few questions for you, but - do you mind if we take a look around inside first?"
  new "我们有几个问题需要询问您，但在此之前，您介意我们先进去看看吗？"

  old "But then, what most people want to dial quickly is the fire department or the police. If you already are the police, who do you want to call?"
  new "不过，大多数人想要用快速拨打的往往是火警或警察的电话。如果你自己就已经是警察了，你还能打电话给谁呢？"

  old "I don't really know my way around here, so the first thing I do is check out the map of the gardens posted just past the entrance gate."
  new "其实我并不知道该怎么走，所以我首先查看了张贴在门口旁边的地图。"

  old "I should relax a little. She's not asking me to write Sherlock Holmes overnight. She's actually been pretty sensible."
  new "我该稍微松口气。她并不是要让我立刻写出《福尔摩斯探案》，她其实挺理智的。"

  old "Well, the history of human belief in magic, anyway. That's the only thing that's real. Camelot never existed, but the legend of King Arthur still has effects throughout time."
  new "嗯，人类对魔法的信仰史……可以说这才是唯一真实存在的东西。卡美洛并不存在，但亚瑟王的传说依然在历史中留下了深远影响。"

  old "She's this whole new responsible adult that I never predicted, but being with her..."
  new "她完全变成了我从未预料过的那种成熟负责的大人，但和她在一起……"

  old "She holds out her hand to me to shake, all-business."
  new "她伸出手来同我握手，一副公事公办的态度。"

  old "Do you think this was a duck?"
  new "你觉得这是不是一只鸭子？"

  old "The whole place smells like a mix of potpourri and mildew."
  new "整个地方弥漫着香料和霉味的混合气味。"

  old "At least, that was what I believed at that time."
  new "至少，那时我相信会是如此。"

  old "We slide back into our seats, pulling our doors closed."
  new "我们坐回座位，拉上了车门。"

  old "I had to spend my own money cleaning up that mess, you know. My own money! What are my tax dollars for, huh?"
  new "我得用上自己的钱去收拾那个烂摊子，明白吗？我自己的钱！那我交的税去哪了呢，嗯？"

  old "Up ahead, I see a clearing with two logs sitting on the grass. There's no fire circle and no spoked wheel dug into the dirt, but there is a large area of torn-up ground where the evidence might have been wiped away."
  new "前方是一片空地，两根原木横置于草地之上。虽然没有火堆，地上也没有像轮辐般的刻痕，但周围有明显被踩踏过的大片空地，曾经存在的证据可能已被抹去。"

  old "Hunting for clues is best performed with a mouse. Would you like to switch to {b}Mouse Free Mode{/b} for a controller-friendly puzzle?"
  new "推荐使用鼠标寻找线索。若用手柄解密更方便，可切换至 {b}无鼠标模式{/b}。"

  old "I was just trying to picture what it would have been like here at night, that's all. To see if that viewpoint would open up any new possibilities."
  new "我只是试着想象一下这里晚上的情景，仅此而已。看看从这个角度能不能找到新的线索。"

  old "Oh, well... We made plans to visit the Lucky Penny, but the owner doesn't want us there until closing time, and that's not for over an hour."
  new "呃，这个嘛……我们计划去拜访幸运便士，但是店主不想让我们现在过去，要等到关店的时候，还得再过一个小时。"

  old "Unless, of course, the thieves share the same superstition, or are sworn to a guild which orders them to spare any citizen who displays the correct signs and pays their protection money."
  new "当然，除非小偷也信这个。或者这些小偷加入了某个公会，公会规定，要放过那些展示了正确标志、交了保护费的公民。"

  old "Kizzy always said you're much fiercer than you look."
  new "基兹总说你比表面上激进多了。"

  old "Did they keep those paper symbols anywhere?"
  new "队员们有把那些纸符号保留下来吗？"

  old "Ah, right, you're an author. So, when's your next book due out?"
  new "啊，对了，你是作家。那你的下一本书什么时候出版？"

  old "We were young and in love. We went to art galleries, watched fantasy films, and imagined ourselves on heroic adventures. We fit together perfectly, like interlocking crystals."
  new "那时我们年轻又相爱。我们去逛了艺术博物馆，看了精彩的电影，想象我们在经历某种冒险。我们彼此完美契合，就像嵌合的晶体。"

  old "She kept talking over me earlier. Jackie she treated with more respect. Maybe it's the way she dresses."
  new "她之前一直略过我说话，反而对杰基更尊重。也许是因为她打扮风格的原因。"

  old "It seems so obvious now, but I'd never fallen in love before. I didn't know the signs. I didn't know that sort of thing was possible between girls. I didn't have any way to recognise what I was feeling."
  new "现在看来很明显，但我以前从未爱上过什么人。我不知道有什么迹象，也不知道女孩之间也会产生这样的感情。我那时没有任何办法去识别当时的感受。"

  old "Do you remember the way back?"
  new "你还记得回去的路吗？"

  old "And then the phone rings."
  new "然后电话响了。"

  old "I can hear Jackie shifting from foot to foot."
  new "我能听到杰基在不停踱步。"

  old "I finish my meal, put the leftovers in the fridge, and drop the pot into the sink to soak."
  new "我吃完饭，把剩菜放进冰箱，然后把锅放进水槽里泡着。"

  old "I don't want to accidentally encourage police corruption. Maybe I'll send them a donation later."
  new "我可不想无意中助长警察的腐败。可能我之后会捐点钱给TA们吧。"

  old "No, we - we didn't really talk about anything personal."
  new "不，我们……我们并没有谈论任何私事。"

  old "One moment it feels like talking to an old friend, like we're young again and bouncing banter off each other and everything is in sync."
  new "有一瞬间我感觉就像是在和一位老朋友交谈，我们好像又回到了年轻的时候，互相打趣，一切都那么合拍。"

  old "Be my guest."
  new "请便。"

  old "There are straight lines on the ground radiating outward from where the fire was to the edges of the cleared space."
  new "地面上有直线从火源处向外辐射，延伸到清理过的区域边缘。"

  old "There's probably a factory in Taiwan churning them out."
  new "可能台湾有家工厂在大量生产这些。"

  old "The pieces of paper are weighted down with stones and twigs to hold them in place."
  new "这些纸片被石块和树枝压住，以固定它们的位置。"

  old "I sigh, thumping my head against the sofa pillows."
  new "我叹了口气，把头重重地砸在沙发靠垫上。"

  old "In those first moments, I didn't even know she was a girl. I'd never seen a girl like that, with hacked-off hair and spikes and a big leather jacket. You never saw that in Sunday School!"
  new "刚开始，我甚至不知道她是个女孩。我从没见过那样的女孩，头发被剪得乱七八糟，戴有尖刺装饰项圈，穿着大皮夹克。你在主日学校可根本见不着这种打扮！"

  old "Jack is the partner you'll be working with in the field to keep you safe."
  new "杰克是你在现场工作的搭档，任务是确保你的安全。"

  old "I mean, that's not important."
  new "其实，那并不重要。"

  old "You parked at the station, right? Can I drop you off there?"
  new "你把车停在警局了，对吧？我把你送到那儿可以吗？"

  old "Ah, right. Well, yeah. We're in stressful situations. Tempers run hot. It's important that we don't rise to it, and don't make things worse."
  new "啊，对。嗯，你看。我们现在压力很大，脾气越来越暴躁。但是我们千万不要意气用事，不要让事情无法挽回。"

  old "It was a good thought."
  new "不过你的想法很好。"

  old "Thank you for taking the time to - "
  new "感谢你抽出时间来—"

  old "What, you think I'd let that piece of trash get away with it? No way in Hell - excuse my language."
  new "什么，你觉得我会让那个小垃圾得逞？做哪门子的春秋大梦——抱歉，我说得太过了。"

  old "But she said she wasn't seeing anyone."
  new "但她说她没有和别人约会。"

  old "She starts the engine and heads back out onto the roads."
  new "她启动车子，驶回了路上。"

  old "Look at that smile. Isn't he precious?"
  new "看看那笑容，他是不是很可爱？"

  old "I'm not sure how many of the purchasers would know which stone 'traditionally' meant what without the cards to label them, though."
  new "我不确定有多少购买者在没有卡片标明的情况下，能知道每块石头“传统上”代表的意义。"

  old "Why did I have to be assigned to work with her, of all people?"
  new "为什么是我被分配到和她一起工作呢，那么多人里偏偏是她？"

  old "Yes, I'm taking care of myself. I just had a home-cooked meal."
  new "好啦，我有照顾好自己。我刚吃了顿自己做的饭。"

  old "Well. There's no need for my best manners here, is there?"
  new "好吧，我也没必要表现得礼貌得体，对吧？"

  old "... Oh, am I that obvious?"
  new "…噢，我有那么明显吗？"

  old "I can do a quick catalog. Not everything here, obviously, but getting a feel for the kinds of things this place sells. That might tell us something about who visits this shop."
  new "我可以先做个大致的盘点，当然不可能把这里的所有东西都列出来，但至少能了解一下这家店主要卖些什么。或许能帮助我们推测一下来这家店的人是怎样的。"

  old "I guess you might call that a grudge."
  new "我想这可能算作积怨。"

  old "Class isn't how we met."
  new "我们不是在课堂上认识的。"

  old "But why should I care what she thinks? I doubt she's even looking.{w}\nAt my shoes, I mean. I know she's looking at me.{w}\nAnd I can't look away."
  new "可我为什么要在乎她怎么看呢？我怀疑她都没有在看。{w}\n我是说，注意到我的鞋子。我知道她在看我。{w}\n而我，根本移不开眼。"

  old "Look at those logs. People sit there. This might have been a designated campfire spot, which would make it a safe place to burn."
  new "看看那些木桩，人们会坐在那里。这可能是一个指定的篝火区域，所以烧火的地方应该是安全的。"

  old "That's very mature of you, Detective."
  new "你这么做很成熟，警探。"

  old "Accident nothing - I saw him shove that jewelry into his pocket and try to walk out the door with it."
  new "什么不小心——我亲眼看到他把那件珠宝塞进兜里，还想着直接走出去。"

  old "Doesn't prove the perp didn't {i}want{/i} more fire."
  new "这并不能说明罪犯{i}不想{/i}让火变大。"

  old "No idea if that ever worked out."
  new "不知道她最后是否实现了这个目标。"

  old "There are - I count quickly - ten large pieces of paper or cardboard placed around the fire. Maybe brown wrapping paper? It's about the right color and the pieces appear to be torn unevenly."
  new "我快速数了一下，一共有……十块大纸张或纸板散落在火堆四周。可能是褐色的包装纸？颜色差不多，而且这些纸片看起来撕得很不规则。"

  old "I never expected to see you here, though. I didn't think law enforcement was one of your career goals."
  new "不过我没想到会在这里见到你。我一直以为执法工作不是你的职业目标之一。"

  old "Most of the paper pieces have large symbols drawn onto them in thick black marker. Some have smudged out of readability. The ground was probably damp and the water damaged some of the symbols. As Mr. Williams said, the weather's been wet a lot lately."
  new "大多数纸片上都有用粗黑色马克笔画出的符号。有些已经被弄得模糊不清。放置的地面可能比较潮湿，水分损坏了部分符号。正如威廉姆斯先生所说，最近天气一直都很潮湿。"

  old "Well, so far it looks pretty eclectic rather than any clear tradition. There's a lot of symbolism, but it's not matching up."
  new "嗯，目前为止看起来更像是一种大杂烩而不是某种明确的传统。虽然有很多象征意义，但没有能对上的。"

  old "Never mind."
  new "别放在心上。"

  old "Besides, it's a little sad to eat a whole cake by yourself, and cake is not always safe for dogs."
  new "而且，自己一个人吃完整个蛋糕有点让人伤感，狗狗误食蛋糕也不太好。"

  old "I'm sure you have other cases that could use your assistance."
  new "我相信你还有其他案件需要处理。"

  old "Hawk? Well, I wasn't planning on him coming back, but maybe..."
  new "浩克？嗯，我原本没打算让他回来，不过，也许……"

  old "Of course, it is a lovely day, and we're not really expecting to find much in the way of clues. Most of what we'll get from this visit is a pleasant walk."
  new "当然，今天是个阳光明媚的日子，我们也不指望能发现什么线索。我们这次来，最多也就算是一次愉快的散步。"

  old "There are lots of ways to make a red paste, I'm sure. But that blood color is very unsettling."
  new "制作红色色浆的方法有很多种，我很确信。但那种血红色真让人不安。"

  old "Did I say something wrong?"
  new "刚才我说错话了吗？"

  old "'Miss Carter' for the older grades. 'Miss Diane' for the kindergarteners, and I generally prefer them."
  new "高年级的学生叫我“卡特小姐”，幼儿园的孩子叫我“戴安娜小姐”，这两个称呼都不错。"

  old "That's how the crew told it to me, so that's how I'm telling it to you."
  new "队员们就是这么和我说的，所以我也这么讲给你听。"

  old "I don't think I can draw any conclusions yet about what sort of person or people might be involved. I need more information."
  new "究竟是什么样的人或哪些人牵涉其中，我恐怕还无法下结论。我需要更多的信息。"

  old "What if that was the idea? How do you know the fire wasn't supposed to burn those symbols?"
  new "如果这就是罪犯的意图呢？你怎么知道火不是用来烧那些符号的？"

  old "Sure, I've got the Lucky Penny phone number here. Do you want to call? You're more - "
  new "没问题，我这有幸运便士商铺的电话号码。要不你来打电话？你比我更加......"

  old "She doesn't want us to disturb the customers, but she says we can come by at five when she's closing up."
  new "她不想让我们打扰到顾客，不过她说可以在她关店的时候过去，大概五点左右。"

  old "Somehow, someone built a fire out of wet wood in the dark, set it alight, and roasted a duck carcass over the rocks. Did they sit, then, and watch it burn? Did they pray, or chant? Were they frightened? Desperate to get away? Or exhilarated by the blaze?"
  new "不知怎么的，某个人在黑暗中用湿木柴生了火，把一只鸭子的尸体架在岩石上烤。这些人当时是坐着看火燃烧吗？有没有祈祷或是念咒？会害怕吗？会不会急着想走？还是看着火焰跳动，内心激动不已？"

  old "I'm not sure how we're going to find any clues here."
  new "我不确定能用什么办法在这里找到线索。"

  old "My dentist used to get these. I always loved looking at the pictures. So much color."
  new "我的牙医以前常订这些。我总是喜欢看里面的图片，色彩很丰富。"

  old "At least I'm not alone."
  new "至少我不是独自一人。"

  old "The pattern on the window is made with some dark reddish substance. It doesn't look like paint. It's far too thick and clumpy, and there's no running drips. Instead, there's a single splotch over to the side of the main pattern."
  new "窗户上的图案是用一种暗红色的物质画的，看起来并不像是油漆。这材质更加厚重，而且有结块，也看不到流动的滴痕。然而，主图案的一侧倒是有一个单独的斑点。"

  old "But magic isn't real, and people like me don't get happy endings."
  new "但是魔法并不真实，像我这样的人也不会有幸福结局。"

  old "He looks at me, his normally-warm eyes serious."
  new "他看着我，平时温和的眼神变得严肃起来。"

  old "I grab the city map from the glove compartment and unfold it onto my lap, comparing it to the information from the manila folder."
  new "我从储物箱里拿出地图，平铺在腿上，跟文件夹里的信息作对比。"

  old "I couldn't tune it out. I've been so tense all day."
  new "我无法装作无事发生，一整天都紧张的要命。"

  old "Not that it really is a lifestyle. I've been living here alone for..."
  new "其实也并不算什么“生活方式”。我一个人住在这里已经……"

  old "I do the best I can to draw the symbols but I know I'm missing bits and pieces."
  new "我尽力画出这些符号，但我知道我还是漏掉了一些部分。"

  old "He walks out and closes the door behind him, leaving us in semi-privacy. Sound, at least, should be blocked, but the glass windows in the walls leave us still in view of other detectives."
  new "他走出去，关上了门，留我们在半私密的环境中。至少，声音被隔绝了，但墙上的玻璃窗仍让我们暴露在其他侦探的视线下。"

  old "Over the past month there have been several reports of small fires set in wooded areas. Never too deep in the backwoods, always near neighborhoods."
  new "在过去的一个月里，有多起报告称在林区发生了小规模的纵火事件。不在偏远的林子深处，却都靠近居民区。"

  old "Oh, sorry. It was something Mr. Williams - your captain - said to me. I thought he was funny when he called me ma'am, and he said it was professional manners."
  new "哦，抱歉。是威廉姆斯先生——你的队长——对我说的。我觉得他叫我“女士”很有意思，他说那是职业礼貌。"

  old "I guess collectors like them. I'll mark them on the list."
  new "我猜收集者会喜欢这些。我会把它们记在清单上。"

  old "Palm-readers have a lot of traditions about naming parts of the hand so they can talk about the differences between them."
  new "手相师有许多关于给手部各个部位命名的规则，有了称呼这样就能讨论些部位之间的差异。"

  old "It 'might have'?"
  new "你说“可能”？"

  old "If it was a cloudy night, the darkness under the trees might have been almost opaque. Would the culprit - or culprits - have risked a flashlight? Or did they have to feel their way along, stumbling through plants and branches in quest of solid ground?"
  new "如果那天晚上乌云密布，树下可能会黑到伸手不见五指。罪犯—或罪犯们—会不会冒险使用手电来照明？还是说他们不得不摸索着前进，在灌木丛和树枝间跌跌撞撞，寻找一块可以站稳的地方？"

  old "I will need to take him for a walk in a little bit and then feed him his dinner, but I don't want to rush right back out the door just after getting in."
  new "一会得带他出去散步，还得准备他的晚餐，但我不想刚进门就急着再出去。"

  old "The lines on the ground"
  new "那些在地上的线"

  old "Possibly that's where the vandal tested their materials before starting to create the larger hand. It doesn't look like a deliberate design, at least."
  new "可能是肇事者在开始绘制这只大手前，先测试了一下材料。至少，看起来不像是故意设计出来的。"

  old "The fire clearing's not that far from the south fence. They could have parked somewhere along the block and climbed over there."
  new "火堆清理的地方离南边的围栏不远。他们可能把车停在街区某个地方，然后翻进来。"

  old "It sounds ridiculous, but I didn't know how else to explain those feelings."
  new "这听起来很荒谬滑稽，但那时的我不知道还有什么别的办法解释我的情感。"

  old "Why don't you two drive out to the site of the latest fire and see if you can draw any conclusions from the area?"
  new "你们俩为什么不开车去最近那次火灾的事故现场看看，或许能得到什么信息？"

  old "I've never worried that much about pedigree. Timmy is my best friend. That's all that matters."
  new "我从来不太在意血统。提米是我最好的伙伴，这才是最重要的。"

  old "It might be..."
  new "有可能……"

  old "She hesitates."
  new "她犹豫了一下。"

  old "Hello? Is this Mrs. Wilcox? Hi, my name is..."
  new "您好？请问是威尔科克斯夫人吗？您好，我的名字是……"

  old "She didn't want us to come any earlier in the day!"
  new "是她不想让我们今天更早来！"

  old "That's how you keep a fire under control. This fire was managed safely."
  new "这就是控制火势的方法。它被安全地控制住了。"

  old "I look at the map again, noting all the ways the garden paths fork and twist. Even now in the daylight it would be easy for us to miss a turn and end up in the wrong place."
  new "我又看了一下地图，发现公园的道路有许多拐弯和分叉。即使现在是白天，我们也很容易错过某个弯，最后走错目的地。"

  old "Well, it's close enough, isn't it?"
  new "好吧，这也差不多，不是吗？"

  old "Timmy comes bouncing up to greet me, barking all the way. He's not tall enough to jump up and lick my face, though I do get paws on my legs."
  new "提米蹦蹦跳跳地跑过来迎接我，一路上欢快地吠叫。他个子不高，跳起来也舔不到我的脸，爪子倒是能搭在我的腿上。"

  old "On the phone, sometimes, I sound too much like a little girl."
  new "而在电话里，有些时候，我听起来像一个小小的女孩。"

  old "Someone who worked here would know the way, but we don't have any reason to suspect that. Especially since this wasn't the only fire, just the most recent one."
  new "曾在这里工作的人应该知道路，但我们没有理由怀疑TA们，特别是考虑到这次火灾并不是唯一的一起，只是最近的一起。"

  old "Yes, you are a good boy! Yes you are!"
  new "对，你是个乖宝宝！没错，你就是！"

  old "He jerks his chin in Jackie's direction."
  new "他用下巴指了指杰基的方向。"

  old "We steer away from the children's nature-exploration zone, past a wildflower field, towards a stream. A tiny wooden arched bridge, painted red, crosses over the rocky water."
  new "我们绕过儿童自然探索区，经过一片野花丛，向小溪走去。有座小型的红色拱桥横跨在布满岩石的溪水之上。"

  old "There's a bunch of old National Geographic magazines on one of the shelves, some filed correctly and others stacked on their sides."
  new "书架上有一堆旧的《国家地理》杂志，有些整理得很整齐，有些则横着堆放。"

  old "Though if no one in the department knows about her, she must have to be {i}somewhat{/i} discreet."
  new "不过，如果部门里没有人知道她的事，她肯定得 {i}稍微{/i}低调一些。"

  old "Despite our differences, or maybe because of them, we made friends. Opposites attract, right? I was fascinated by her and she was tolerant enough to indulge me."
  new "忽略掉我们的不同之处，或者说其实正是因为这些不同，我们才成了朋友。可以说异性相吸？我对她着迷，而她则对我足够宽容，愿意包容我。"

  old "Besides, you get a discount on your car insurance with an up-to-date feng shui test."
  new "而且，做一个最新的风水测试还能给车险打折。"

  old "I can feel her, all the time. Whenever she was near me, it was like - like heat on my skin."
  new "我每时每刻都能感受到她的存在。每当她靠近，那种感觉就像——像炽热的气息萦绕着我的肌肤。"

  old "I press a hand to my forehead."
  new "我把手按在额头上。"

  old "The face on the cover is all wrong. The artist went with someone much paler and bustier. But the woman I imagined, the heroine I described... looks a lot like Jackie."
  new "封面上的脸完全不对。插画家选了一个皮肤更白、身材更丰满的人。但我想象中的那个女人，我所描述的女主角……看起来很像杰基。"

  old "Coming here was mostly busywork, but it wasn't entirely wasted."
  new "来这里主要是做些琐事，但也不完全是浪费时间。"

  old "Ehehe. Right."
  new "呃呵呵。是这样。"

  old "So who's supposed to help me now? Are you fixin' to stick around and guard this place overnight, like I asked for?"
  new "所以现在是谁要来帮我？你打算像我要求的那样，留下来守着这个地方过夜吗？"

  old "I wonder if Mrs. Wilcox took anything out of sight?"
  new "我想知道，威尔科克斯夫人会不会把什么东西藏起来了？"

  old "What is it?"
  new "怎么了？"

  old "I guess that 'ma'am' really is department policy."
  new "我猜你称呼别人“女士”真的是部门的规定。"

  old "No. I don't want to know."
  new "不，我不想管这些。"

  old "I carefully un-kink the coiled phone cord (the curls tend to get linked into themselves, especially if I'm fidgeting with them) and carry the receiver over to the couch to settle in."
  new "我小心地把卷曲的电话线解开（线圈容易缠绕在一起，特别是当我在摆弄它们的时候），然后拿着听筒走到沙发旁坐下。"

  old "Oh, and you'll never guess who I'm working with."
  new "哦，你绝对猜不到我现在和谁一起工作。"

  old "Ever since that Alison Mayberry had a 'vision' and told the sheriffs in Montana where they could find this kidnapped little girl, paranormal activity has been all the rage. Every Lawn Club lady wants to believe her champagne dreams might have some deep hidden meaning."
  new "自从艾莉森·梅伯里声称自己有“灵视”，并告诉蒙大拿州的警长们可以在哪儿找到那个被绑架的小女孩后，超自然现象就成了热门话题。每个上流社会的女士都愿意相信她们奢侈的梦境中可能深藏着什么。"

  old "Once we're outside, Jackie takes a casual stride forward, her hips stating authority."
  new "一出门，杰基便轻松地走了出去，她的步伐和姿态流露出一股自信的权威感。"

  old "Of course, in that first moment I was confused and desperate and worried something was wrong with me. I even considered the possibility I might be possessed, or haunted by the ghost of some man, and that's why I was drawn to a woman."
  new "当然，最开始我感受到的是困惑、绝望，甚至担心自己是不是有问题。我甚至怀疑自己被附身了，也许是被某个男鬼附了身，所以才会被女人吸引。"

  old "She pushes the door open and holds it for me."
  new "她推开门，替我把门撑着。"

  old "How have you been?"
  new "你过得怎么样？"

  old "It's still nonsense, but I appreciate that palmistry has some respect for people choosing their own futures."
  new "这还是胡说八道，但我挺欣赏手相学至少尊重人们自主选择未来的权利。"

  old "Oh my word, she is gorgeous. I can't stop staring.{w}\nThis is so unfair.{w}\nI'm not even wearing my cute shoes."
  new "天哪，她真是美得不可思议。我简直移不开目光。.{w}  \n这也太不公平了。{w}  \n我连我那双可爱的鞋子都没穿呢。"

  old "We don't know how many people were involved. Struggling alone in the dark could be terrifying, but in a group that might transform into a sense of adventure."
  new "我们不清楚有多少人参与了这件事。独自一人在黑暗中挣扎可能很恐怖，但是如果是一群人，也许会有冒险的刺激感。"

  old "There's nothing occult or suspicious about the logs, but they do suggest that this was a regular campfire area being used. Or at least a part of a park that expects visitors to come and have a seat."
  new "这些木桩看起来并没有任何神秘或可疑的地方，但它们表明这里曾是常规的篝火区域，或者至少是公园预期游客到此休息的地方。"

  old "Jackie parks her car at the entrance to the Botanic Gardens."
  new "杰基把车停在了植物园的门口。"

  old "Picking anything up?"
  new "有发现什么吗？"

  old "Your job is to be smart and follow orders. So don't get crazy and try to play hero, you hear?"
  new "你的任务就是发挥聪明的头脑并听从指挥。所以不要胡来，也不要逞能，明白吗？"

  old "Not everything that falls outside of the Judeo-Christian-"
  new "不是所有偏离犹太-基督教传统的东西......"

  old "I can't believe this. I have suffered through publishing wine-and-cheese nights, my great-aunt's birthday party, and even PTA meetings, and small talk was never this excruciating."
  new "我简直不敢相信。我忍过了出版界的酒会、我曾祖母的生日派对，甚至是家长教师会，但从来没有经历过这么痛苦的寒暄。"

  old "I suppose she's right. You don't make the plumber buy a ticket in order to get in and fix the pipes. We're here to examine a scene, not to take advantage of the gardens for a cheap date."
  new "我想她没说错。就像你不会让水管工花钱买票进来修管道。我们是来检查现场的，不是为了在植物园里约个便宜会。"

  old "I check my wristwatch - it took longer to walk here than I thought - and copy the time down in my notebook, along with a quick sketch of the site as I see it. I am certainly no artist, but even squiggles can help show what stood where."
  new "我看了下手表，发现走到这里比我想的要久。然后我在笔记本上记下了时间，同时简略地画下了我看到的现场。我毕竟不是艺术家，但即便只是一些涂鸦，也能标明各个位置。"

  old "They're cute - if I had any plants to put in them."
  new "这些都挺可爱的——如果我能放些植物进去。"

  old "I mean, she's strong, and it makes sense she would want to protect people, it's just - we were always, you know, protest girls in college, and now here we are working for the department."
  new "我是说，她很坚强，想要保护别人也没什么不对，只是——我们以前在大学里都是那种参加抗议的女孩，现在竟然在为警局工作。"

  old "Well, I didn't buy mine here."
  new "呃，但我那个不是在这买的。"

  old "The door opens, and {i}she{/i} walks in."
  new "门开了， {i}她{/i}走了进来。"

  old "On the other hand, it's closing time now. It may have been busier earlier in the day."
  new "另一方面，现在已经是闭店时间了，白天的时候可能会更热闹些。"

  old "She turns, flicking something away from her hand - a cigarette, most likely."
  new "她转过身，轻轻甩掉手中的某物——很可能是根烟。"

  old "An eye inside a hand would usually be a hamsa, a protection symbol from the Middle East. It's meant to ward off evil forces."
  new "手掌中有只眼睛，这通常是哈姆萨。这是来自中东的保护符号，意在抵御邪恶力量。"

  old "Would marking this store as a portal to another realm be a good thing or a bad thing?"
  new "将商店标记为通往另一个世界的门户，这是好事还是坏事？"

  old "I really can't tell what this signifies."
  new "我确实不知道这究竟意味着什么。"

  old "Aunt Agnes is my only relative who knows and understands about my... lifestyle."
  new "阿格尼丝阿姨是唯一一个了解并理解我的……生活方式的亲戚。"

  old "It was a required course, not something Jackie signed up for. High school education can be very uneven, so the university wants to ensure every student can read and write and put together a basic essay before they're allowed to progress."
  new "这是一门必修课，而不是杰基自愿选择的。高中教育的质量参差不齐，因此大学希望确保每个学生都具备阅读、写作能力，并能够完成一篇基础的论文，才会允许学生继续深造。"

  old "There are several large metal filing cabinets in the store. I pull open a drawer to peek inside."
  new "商店里有几个大金属文件柜。我拉开一个抽屉，偷偷地看了看里面。"

  old "I don't know if it was those two that messed up my shop. Could have been any punk. Streets are full of 'em."
  new "我不确定是不是那两个家伙搞坏了我的店，可能是哪个小混混，街上到处都是这种人。"

  old "That makes it easier to focus on the substance itself."
  new "这样就更能集中注意力观察这只手了。"

  old "Just a minute! Let me put down my purse!"
  new "等一下噢！先让我先放下我的钱包！"

  old "No, it wasn't macaroni and cheese."
  new "不，不是通心粉和奶酪。"

  old "It's not like the days when they used to shoot hippies. It's a whole new system. We're here to solve mysteries."
  new "这可不像过去那些开枪打嬉皮士的日子了。现在是全新的体制。我们在这里是为了破案。"

  old "She cranks the handle to roll down the window and blow her smoke outside."
  new "她转动车窗把手，把窗户降下来，让风把烟雾往外吹。"

  old "Feeling uncomfortable, I reach for my notebook."
  new "心里不太舒服，我伸手去拿笔记本。"

  old "If I understand the layout correctly, the site where the mysterious fire was set is in the woods deep inside the property, a ways walk from here."
  new "如果我没有看错地图，那场神秘火灾发生的地点是在庄园深处的树林里，离这儿有一段距离。"

  old "I hope you found your way in all right?"
  new "一路过来还顺利吧？"

  old "She flaps the smoke away from us."
  new "她把烟雾从我们身边扇去。"

  old "When did this happen?"
  new "这事什么时候发生的？"

  old "She picks up the phone, holding the receiver pressed between her ear and her shoulder, and dials the number."
  new "她拿起电话，将听筒夹在耳朵和肩膀之间，然后拨打号码。"

  old "She snuck me into a bar - not to drink, just to see what it was like inside - and taught me to play pool. I told her what I thought were funny stories from my high school history class and she listened."
  new "她偷偷带我进了一家酒吧——不是为了喝酒，只是想看看里面是什么样子——还教我打台球。我则给她讲了我觉得很有趣的高中历史课上的故事，她认真听着。"

  old "A hamsa is an {i}anti{/i}-evil eye."
  new "哈姆萨是{i}反抗{/i}邪恶的眼睛。"

  old "The next commercial is a series of closeups of supermodels talking about how great their fancy makeup makes them feel."
  new "接下来的广告是一系列特写镜头，超级名模们谈论着高档化妆品带来的豪华享受。"

  old "It's the job that gives me... purpose. Family. I don't have time for anything else."
  new "是这份工作给了我……使命感。家庭，这个我暂时还没有考虑。没有时间做其它事情。"

  old "Well, I can't let my issues stand in the way of getting this job done."
  new "我不能让我的个人原因影响工作。"

  old "The top issue on the stack has a cover featuring a strange golden mask, probably the death-mask of a Mycenean king."
  new "堆叠在最上面的一期，封面是一张奇异的金色面具，可能是迈锡尼国王的死亡面具。"

  old "I'm sorry. This is your office, isn't it? I'm in your way."
  new "对不起，这是你的办公室，对吧？我给你添麻烦了。"

  old "Friendly-sounding."
  new "听起来比我更加亲切。"

  old "I really don't think that's necessary, ma'am. This was probably an isolated incident."
  new "女士，我真的认为这种措施并不必要。这起事件很可能只是孤立个案。"

  old "Crew came back, said they'd found something weird in the fires. Bones. Funny symbols. The Devil's work."
  new "队员们回来，说他们在火中发现了一些奇怪的东西。一些骨头，和一些怪异的符号。魔鬼的手笔。"

  old "After you."
  new "你先请。"

  old "The television, unfortunately, is less soothing. I'm right in the middle of an ad break."
  new "遗憾的是，电视节目就没那么让人愉悦了，现在正好到广告时间。"

  old "Well, she may be determined to be difficult, but she has a right to be upset after what happened to her store. She's probably frightened, not knowing who's responsible or why, or what else the vandals might do to her."
  new "嗯，她或许是在故意甩脸色给我们看。不过在经历了店铺发生的事情后，她完全有理由感到不安。她大概吓坏了，不知道是谁下手，也不清楚原因，更不知道那些捣乱的人还会做出什么。"

  old "Give me your paw."
  new "爪子给我。"

  old "There's a necklace whose pendant is a thin circle of green crystal shot through with black lines almost like a sunburst."
  new "有一条项链的吊坠是一圈细细的绿色水晶，上面交错分布着黑色的纹路，看起来就像太阳放射出的光芒。"

  old "Weather's been pretty wet lately, so the risk wasn't high, but we couldn't count on that."
  new "最近天气很潮湿，所以风险不算高，但我们不能指望一直这样。"

  old "I don't remember all the details without looking it up, but I know it can be north or south of east."
  new "我记不清楚所有的细节，得查一下，但我知道应该是东偏北或东偏南。"

  old "That could cover quite a range."
  new "这可包括不少东西。"

  old "You've done this?"
  new "你这么做过？"

  old "Yes, ma'am. We'll update you if there are any new developments."
  new "好的，女士。如果有任何新进展，我们会及时通知您。"

  old "I caught a couple of kids in here last week trying to shoplift. Greasy little weasel tried to claim it was an 'accident' and a 'misunderstanding'."
  new "上周我逮到几个小孩在这里偷东西，那个滑头小子居然试图说那是个“意外”和“误会”。"

  old "Have you... seen Carol recently?"
  new "你…最近见过卡罗尔吗？"

  old "You don't like her, do you?"
  new "你不喜欢她，对吗？"

  old "My publisher will not allow me to write scenes depicting lesbian sex, or to put a heroine into a long-term relationship with another female character."
  new "我的出版社不允许我写描写女同性恋性爱的场景，也不允许我让女主角与另一位女角色建立一段长期的恋爱关系。"

  old "I know what those symbols look like and where they should be placed on the hand. These are totally different."
  new "我知道那些符号是什么样子的，也知道它们应该放在手上的什么地方，和这上面的截然不同。"

  old "Sounds reasonable."
  new "听起来很合理。"

  old "If these fire incidents keep occurring, we have to worry what they might burn next."
  new "如果一直有这类火灾事件发生，我们不得不担心接下来还会烧毁什么。"

  old "Because the burnt offerings disappear and the smoke drifts away, it's like they've been taken up in the hands of a god."
  new "随着烧焦祭品的消失，烟雾飘散，仿佛它们被神的手带走了。"

  old "Unfortunately, a block or two can make all the difference when it comes to how desirable a location is. These shop names sound distinctly off-brand. Probably small and run-down."
  new "不幸的是，一两个街区的距离就足以影响一个地方的吸引力。这些店名听起来明显不太有品牌感，可能是小而破旧的店铺。"

  old "Yeah, we get injured. There's fights. Even if you're mostly a detective, sometimes you get into a mess."
  new "是，我们有时会受伤，因为有打斗。就算大部分时间你是个警探，也有时会卷入麻烦。"

  old "I wrinkle my nose."
  new "我皱了皱鼻子。"

  old "I'm not sure what else to do other than read. There's no specific signature in these files to follow. Not yet."
  new "除了看文件，我不知道还能做什么。这些文件里没有什么特别的线索可以调查，至少目前没有。"

  old "{size=-10}... isolate my ass...{/size}"
  new "{size=-10}…孤个屁…{/size}"

  old "Some are plain terracotta, but others have been painted with simple, cheery designs. Suns, flowers, leaping dolphins, the sort of things you'd find decorating children's rooms."
  new "有些是普通的红陶盆，但别的都画着简单、欢快的图案。有太阳、花朵、跃动的海豚，这类装饰通常出现在儿童房里。"

  old "How are they wrong?"
  new "它们错在哪儿了？"

  old "Poets say the souls of loyal pets cross a rainbow bridge to a meadow just outside of Heaven, to wait for us."
  new "诗人们说，宠物若是忠诚，其灵魂会穿越彩虹桥，来到天堂外的一片绿茵，等待我们的到来。"

  old "She stares straight ahead, knuckles tight on the steering wheel."
  new "她直直地盯着前方，手紧紧地攥着方向盘。"

  old "I guess we should be getting back to the station now."
  new "我猜我们现在应该回警局了。"

  old "The pointer finger on this hand is longer than the other fingers, which isn't right. Fingers don't look like that. At least, not usually."
  new "这只手的食指比其他手指都长，这不太对。手指不是那样的，至少不是我们常见到的那样。"

  old "It's a pity that it didn't even {i}mean{/i} anything to you!"
  new "更可惜的是这对你来说甚至{i}不算什么{/i}！"

  old "That sounds brainless, doesn't it?"
  new "这听起来很蠢，不是吗？"

  old "I'm glad you're not taken in by all that flim-flam."
  new "我很高兴你没有被那些花言巧语骗到。"

  old "My eyes stray to the bookshelf, where I keep pristine copies of all my published works."
  new "我不自觉地把目光投向书架，那里摆放着我所有出版作品的全新本。"

  old "You should look at the next scene."
  new "你应该看看下一个场景。"

  old "I don't know how much of a shakeup there was down here, though."
  new "不过，我不太清楚这里到底发生了多大变动。"

  old "There's a sound at the door, probably the detective that Mr. Williams said was coming."
  new "门口传来了声音，可能是威廉姆斯先生说要来的侦探。"

  old "Don't take stupid chances. Let Jack protect you. I don't want to hear you got yourself shot or stabbed or had some blood curse on your firstborn."
  new "不要犯傻，让杰克保护你。我可不想听说你中弹或者被刺伤的消息，或者你的长子被下了什么血咒。"

  old "This was the most recent site and the one that really started ringing alarm bells about cultists. Take a look and tell me what you see."
  new "这是最新的现场，也是让我们开始真正警惕邪教分子的地方。试着观察一下，告诉我你都发现了什么。"

  old "I didn't snoop into anything I shouldn't, Mr. Williams, I promise."
  new "我没有偷看任何不该看的东西，威廉姆斯先生，我保证。"

  old "I didn't mean to ask her to dinner. I don't want to have dinner with her."
  new "我不是想约她吃晚饭。我并不想和她一起吃晚饭。"

  old "Likewise."
  new "我也是。"

  old "These must be for collectors. I'll put them on my list."
  new "这肯定是给收藏者准备的。我会把它们记下来。"

  old "The students call me 'Miss'. There's a difference."
  new "学生们叫我“小姐”。这可是有区别的。"

  old "He stands from his desk and walks over to shake my hand in greeting."
  new "他从桌子后站起来，走过来和我握手致意。"

  old "An upraised palm also means 'Stop', so it could be a warning."
  new "竖起手掌也意味着“停止”，所以这也可能是一个警告。"

  old "It's probably too late to find anything like that now."
  new "现在想找到那样的东西可能已经太晚了。"

  old "There's a faintly familiar smell lingering inside, one that becomes clearer when Jackie reaches over to extract a pack of cigarettes from the glove compartment."
  new "车里弥漫着一股熟悉的淡淡的气味。杰基从车内储物箱里拿出来一包烟时，这种气味更明显了。"

  old "Looked like campfires, but not in any designated camping areas, so people were sent around to investigate for fire safety."
  new "看起来像是露营火堆，但并不在任何指定的露营区，所以我们派了人去调查火灾安全情况。"

  old "I didn't say that. I haven't started the new book yet. But I did start a new - well, not a new job, exactly. It's not full-time. It's not even part-time. It's more like a contract. An assignment."
  new "我没那么说。我还没开始写新书。但是，我确实开始了一份新的——好吧，严格来说不是新工作。它不是全职的，甚至也不属于兼职，更像是合同工，一份委托。"

  old "... but that's behind us now. It's ancient history."
  new "......但这都是我们以前的事。已经是久远的陈年旧事了。"

  old "So, I thought it would be a waste of her time to sit in here with me, and she probably has other things to do..."
  new "所以，我觉得让她和我一起待在这里会浪费她的时间，她可能还有其他事情要做…..."

  old "I'm by myself a lot, though, so it's not much of a restriction."
  new "当然了，我大部分时间都是一个人待着，所以这并不算什么大问题。"

  old "You give Timmy a cuddle for me, you hear?"
  new "你替我抱抱提米，好吗？"

  old "She probably has women crawling on their hands and knees begging for her attention."
  new "会不会有很多女人卑躬屈膝地讨好她，渴求得到她的关注。"

  old "I look away, trying not to make things any more awkward than they already are."
  new "我把脸撇向一边，好让局面不会变得更尴尬。"

  old "What does she think of me? She doesn't hate me. She doesn't want me, either. She doesn't even feel guilty. She acts like everything is fine, like we're just old friends."
  new "她到底怎么想我的？她不讨厌我，也不想和我在一起。她甚至没有丝毫愧疚。她表现得像什么都没发生过，好像我们只是老朋友一样。"

  old "I know forests don't really have a spirit, but I'm glad that whatever happened here didn't do any serious damage to this place. It's beautiful and it deserves to be appreciated."
  new "我知道森林其实没有灵魂，但我高兴的是，不管这里曾发生了什么，至少没有对这片地方造成严重的损害。它很美，值得被珍惜。"

  old "I don't, really. But, you know, any edge is a good edge. What's it gonna hurt?"
  new "我不信，真的。但是你知道的，有点小帮助也是有帮助。又不会损失什么，对吧？"

  old "Not the sort that leaves temples and mythologies. It's just over."
  new "不是那种会留在庙宇供奉或在神话里流传的爱情。只是过去式了。"

  old "Yes, I said we, that's who hired me! I told you, I'm their expert on cults."
  new "是的，我说的是“我们”，就是那些人雇了我！我之前就讲过，我是他们/她们那儿的邪教专家。"

  old "He lays down a map and taps several locations."
  new "他摊开一张地图，指着几个地点敲了敲。"

  old "I suppose the police don't want anyone to be able to move around inside an office undetected."
  new "我想是因为警方不希望有人能够在办公室里移动而不被看到。"

  old "I wonder what her plans are for the evening?"
  new "我想知道，她今晚都有什么计划？"

  old "I fish my wallet out of my purse and flip through the plastic protector pages."
  new "我从包里掏出钱包，翻动塑料保护页展示提米的照片。"

  old "The wheel of fortune, or of life and rebirth. The wheels of law and progress. Fate and consequences which come back around to themselves."
  new "命运之轮，或生命与重生之轮。法律与进步之轮。命运与因果，最终都会回到自身。"

  old "But the shop wasn't robbed, so - "
  new "但是商店没有被洗劫，所以—"

  old "But thieves guilds, like magic stones, are only found in fantasy."
  new "不过，就像盗贼公会一样，魔法石也只是幻想中的产物。"

  old "I don't see any trail trampled through the woods, either. But that doesn't matter right now."
  new "我也没看到有任何穿过树林留下的痕迹。但是现在这已经不重要了。"

  old "White boy. Light hair, maybe blond, maybe reddish. One of those stupid hairstyles that's short in the front and long in the back."
  new "白人男孩、浅色头发，可能是金色的，也可能是带点红色的那种。是那种前短后长的愚蠢发型之一。"

  old "Sure you will."
  new "那当然了。"

  old "No. This is an active investigation. We're doing a job. There's no need to charge us admission."
  new "不用，这是在进行调查，我们是在工作。不需要花钱买票。"

  old "Those woods and the nearby lake aren't part of the formal gardens, but going through the gardens is the only official way for the public to access the area."
  new "那些树林和附近的湖泊并不属于植物园，但如果有人想要去那，唯一能走的大路得穿过植物园。"

  old "Anyway, petting Timmy is soothing, and I like soothing. He's my perfect little lap fluffy."
  new "不管怎么说，抚摸提米让我心情舒缓，我就喜欢这种感觉。他可是我超棒的、能乖乖窝在我腿上的毛茸茸小可爱。"

  old "True enough, these days, but I still think it's ridiculous. A polished bit of rock has no power to dissuade thieves."
  new "这倒是没错，在现在这种年代......但我还是觉得这太荒谬了。一块打磨过的小石头怎么有能力防御盗贼。"

  old "I do love desserts, but I feel like I would be spoiling myself if I made cakes too often."
  new "我确实爱吃甜食，但如果老给自己做蛋糕，总觉得太放纵了。"

  old "I thought of that, but Jackie said it had all been cleaned up..."
  new "我想过这样，但是杰基告诉我现场已经清理掉了......"

  old "Well, I was wrong on all counts."
  new "好吧，看来我大错特错。"

  old "Nothing really stands out, other than the twisty-cube which I was never any good at solving."
  new "除了我从来就不擅长解决的那扭曲的立方体，再没什么特别引人注目的东西了。"

  old "Finally we manage to bypass the minotaur and enter the maze itself."
  new "我们终于设法绕过了米诺陶洛斯，进入了迷宫内部。"

  old "Driven to despair by new car prices averaging over thirteen thousand dollars..."
  new "新车的均价超过一万三千美元，人们对此感到绝望..."

  old "I give him the treat and let him finish that while I turn on the TV. Then I call him over to the couch for petting and snuggles."
  new "我把零食喂给他，让他在我打开电视的时候吃完。然后我叫他过来沙发上，抚摸他并抱着他。"

  old "As well as my set of encyclopedias, I have a number of guides to world religion and mythology on my bookshelves. Some of them are leftover from my school days. Others I bought as resources for my writing."
  new "我书架上除了一套百科全书，还有许多关于世界宗教和神话的指南。有些是我从学生时代留下来的，其他的则是我为写作购买的参考书。"

  old "Sorry. It's just nasty. It's so bitter. It tastes like you've burned the water."
  new "不好意思，实在是太难喝了。苦得不行，尝起来像是把水烧焦了。"

  old "Okay. Um. Follow me."
  new "好吧。嗯。跟着我。"

  old "There could be footprints, or torn bits of fabric, or maybe items that fell from their pockets and they missed in the dark..."
  new "可能会留下脚印、被扯下来的碎布，或者是口袋里掉出来在黑暗中找不到的物品......"

  old "I guess it's all water under the bridge to her now."
  new "我猜对她来说，这一切都是过往云烟了。"

  old "A challenge or a dare, perhaps. An initiation? One member to build the fire, while the others led the way and kept watch? An orchestrated ritual, each participant drawing a line in the dirt?"
  new "也许这行动是一个挑战或是赌注，或者，一种入会仪式？一个成员负责生火，而其他人负责带路并望风？并且是一场精心安排的仪式，每个参与者都要在地上画一条线？"

  old "Our own perfect little world, where nothing could touch us. The foundation for the rest of our lives together."
  new "属于我们的、完美的小世界，外界的任何东西都无法打扰我们。这是我们余生相伴的基础。"

  old "Ah, hello, Diane! Glad you could make it."
  new "啊，你好，黛安娜！你能来真是太好了。"

  old "You people are always too late."
  new "你们这帮人总是来晚一步。"

  old "About the case?"
  new "你说案件吗？"

  old "I write as 'Rosalind Perry' - for that delicate taste of Olde England. The author blurb inside the cover admits that I'm American, but no one actually reads those before buying a book. Only the first impression matters."
  new "我用“罗莎琳德·佩里”这个名字写作——为了有那种微妙的“古老英格兰”风味。封底的作者简介里写了我是美国人，但实际上没有人会在买书之前读这些内容。第一印象才是最重要的。"

  old "I might have thought of it earlier if I hadn't been knocked off-balance by being in a room with Jackie after all these years."
  new "如果不是这么多年来再次和杰基待在一个房间里让我的心乱了，我早该想到的。"

  old "Those lines on the ground were made in mud. The whole area was wet. The fire wasn't going to spread."
  new "地上那些线条是刻在泥浆里的。这附近都是湿的，所以火势不会蔓延。"

  old "Unless someone knew this area really well, it would be hard to reach that clearing from here in the dark."
  new "除非有人非常了解这片区域，不然在黑夜里很难从这里抵达那片空地。"

  old "We figured it was most likely kids, or maybe a tramp. Been more folks homeless since they slashed the HUD budget."
  new "我们猜测最可能是孩子们放的火，或者也可能是个流浪汉。自从削减了住房和城市发展预算后，流浪的人更多了。"

  old "That's fine."
  new "挺好的。"

  old "Lead the way."
  new "带路吧。"

  old "And again, she stays silent. She doesn't even look at me."
  new "然后，她又沉默了，甚至没有看我一眼。"

  old "Suppose you'd have to be, or you wouldn't last long as a sub! Those kids can be vicious."
  new "我猜真是这样，不然可做不了那么久代课老师！那些孩子可是小恶魔。"

  old "Oh, Carol! Oh, that's been a while."
  new "噢，卡罗尔！噢，好久不见了。"

  old "It's good to see you again."
  new "很开心又见到你了。"

  old "She brings out an enlarged photograph of a scene in the woods - an ashy circle that must once have been a campfire, with a small blackened skeleton lying among the rocks."
  new "她拿出一张放大的照片，上面展示了树林中的一幕———一个被灰烬覆盖的圆圈，像是篝火熄灭后的遗迹。围起来的岩石中间躺着一具小巧的黑色骸骨。"

  old "She closes the door behind her, sealing us all into the office together."
  new "她关上了身后的门，把我们都封锁在办公室里。"

  old "Well, the only thing that got burned was that duck..."
  new "好吧，现场唯一被烧的只有那只鸭子……"

  old "Yeah. But I didn't tell the boss I knew you."
  new "我知道。但我没告诉队长我认识你。"

  old "The ground was wet that night."
  new "那天晚上地面是湿的。"

  old "Probably a popular gift item. The store certainly has enough of them."
  new "大概是一种流行的礼品。店里肯定有很多这种东西。"

  old "He runs his blunt fingers over the papers, hunting for some signal in the fringes, and works loose a few sheets with photographs clipped to them."
  new "他用粗糙的手指在文件堆里翻找，试图在边缘找到某些记号，最终抽出了几张夹着照片的文件。"

  old "Especially these days with so many police departments turning to con artists and bored housewives who call themselves psychic."
  new "尤其是现在，许多警察部门都更愿意去找那些自称为灵媒的骗子和无聊的家庭主妇。"

  old "This isn't about us. It's about solving a mystery and getting paid for it, so I can pay my bills and go on with my life. My life, where I've been doing just fine without her."
  new "重点不在于我们。现在重要的是破解谜团、拿到报酬，好让我付清账单继续生活。我过去的人生没有她，也过的不错。"

  old "There. I think that's the spot."
  new "那里。我觉得就是那个地方。"

  old "I keep my hands flat on my lap."
  new "我将手平放在大腿上。"

  old "Hot. {w=0.25}Sweet. {w=0.25}Sexy."
  new "火辣、 {w=0.25}甜美、{w=0.25}性感。"

  old "Do you have a compass?"
  new "你带了指南针吗？"

  old "Oh, they tried. The old guard insisted it was all legally authorized, as if that made a difference to right and wrong. But the news wouldn't let them out of the spotlight, and the tides of opinion turned."
  new "哼，TA们倒是尝试过了。那些守旧派坚称这一切都是合法授权的，好像合法与否就能决定是否对错似的。但新闻媒体一直紧跟TA们，舆论的风向也发生了转变。"

  old "Still hate coffee?"
  new "还是讨厌咖啡？"

  old "Were any of these 'burnt offerings' people?"
  new "这些“焚烧供品”中有人吗？"

  old "Um, you're looking well."
  new "嗯，你看起来挺好的。"

  old "I make pouting eyes at him, and he returns a tolerant chuckle."
  new "我幽怨地看着他，而他对我宽容地笑了笑。"

  old "{color=#FFFFFF}{size=14}FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. MUST BE 18 TO CALL."
  new "{color=#FFFFFF}{size=14} 仅限娱乐用途，拨打需年满18岁。"

  old "Do you think we could visit? I'd like to see the store for myself and talk to the owner. She might know things she hasn't thought to mention."
  new "你觉得我们能去拜访一下吗？我想亲眼看看那家店，然后和店主聊聊。她可能还知道一些信息，但不知道该告知我们。"

  old "I suppose the department hasn't upgraded their equipment for years. Most offices have touch-tone phones by now so they can program in a few numbers for easy redial."
  new "我猜警局这些年没更新设备。现在大多数办公室都有按键拨号电话，可以预设几个号码方便重拨。"

  old "Where is Jack, anyway?"
  new "不说这个，杰克到底去哪儿了？"

  old "Well, no, not so much, other than whoever did this didn't want to start a forest fire."
  new "嗯，不太有，除了能确定做这件事的人不想引发森林火灾。"

  old "Have you had any problem customers lately? Someone who might have held a grudge against you?"
  new "最近有没有什么奇怪的顾客？会不会有谁对你心怀怨恨？"

  old "Charming, huh?"
  new "是个好地方吧，嗯？"

  old "That could be trying to draw attention to something, or representing the power of an idea, or it could mean 'Wait'."
  new "可能是在试图将注意力引向什么，或者表达某种思想的力量，它也可能意味着“等待”。"

  old "Of course, the name on those spines is not Diane Carter.{w}\nNot exciting enough. {w}Too ordinary. {w}Too me."
  new "当然，那些书背上写的名字并不是黛安娜·卡特。{w}这名字不够吸引人，{w}太平凡了，{w}太像我了。\n"

  old "Too many people think they have intuition when all they have is imagination."
  new "太多人以为自己有直觉，其实不过是想象罢了。"

  old "You two know each other?"
  new "你们俩认识？"

  old "I stand beside the disturbed earth and take in a slow, quiet breath, letting the atmosphere wash over me."
  new "我站在这片不平整的土地旁边，缓慢、安静地深吸了一口气，感受着这里的氛围。"

  old "This is just a waste."
  new "这不过是浪费生命。"

  old "Ah, there she is."
  new "啊，她来了。"

  old "I assume the most valuable items must be the ones protected by glass, but it all looks like costume jewelry and folk art to me."
  new "我觉得最值钱的东西肯定是那些被玻璃罩住的，但在我看来，这些看起来都像是些人造珠宝和民间艺术品。"

  old "I hear Jackie step in close behind me, and my shoulders immediately tense. For a moment, I'd forgotten she was here."
  new "我听到杰基轻轻地走到了我的身后。我的肩膀霎时紧绷起来。有那么一瞬，我都忘了她还在这里。"

  old "Right. Ma'am, it's generally not advisable to engage in physical conflict. We wouldn't want you to get hurt."
  new "好的，女士。一般来说避免身体冲突比较好，我们可不想让您受伤。"

  old "And for Timmy, 'excited' means 'spinning in circles making noise'."
  new "对提米来说，“兴奋”就是“边汪汪叫边转圈圈”。"

  old "But they {i}will{/i} let me suggest that encounters have taken place, especially if the protagonist gets something out of it: secrets, a key to the castle gate, being hidden from soldiers, whatever."
  new "但他们{i}同意{/i}让我暗示这些事情确实发生过，尤其是主角能从中获利的情况下，比如窥见谁的秘密、拿到城堡门钥匙、知道某个躲避士兵的藏身处，诸如此类。"

  old "There you are!"
  new "你们来了！"

  old "I know about east and west! But the sun doesn't set perfectly to the west, you know!"
  new "我分得清东西方！可是太阳可不是完全往西边落的，你知道不！"

  old "I stand up to head back out into the main building, then pause."
  new "我起身准备回到主楼，随后停下了脚步。"

  old "Jackie bows her head politely to Mrs. Wilcox, then escorts me back to the car."
  new "杰基对威尔科克斯女士礼貌地点了点头，然后护送我回到了车上。"

  old "But that's always depicted on the right hand, not the left. Putting it on a left hand could mean a reversal."
  new "但它通常都画在右手上，而不是左手。让它在左手上可能有反转的含义。"

  old "She could have stepped right off a recruitment poster. Long legs. Broad shoulders. Black hair, straight and thick and sleek. Light brown skin, still untouched by time and scars."
  new "她仿佛是直接从招聘海报上走了下来。修长的双腿，宽阔的肩膀。黑色的头发，直而浓密，光滑如丝。浅棕色的皮肤，依旧未被岁月和疤痕侵蚀。"

  old "No, I haven't heard from her since... Last I knew she wanted to join the Air Force or something."
  new "没有，我有段时间没听到她的消息了。自从......某次我听说她想加入空军还是什么。"

  old "All right. I love you too. Bye-bye."
  new "好的，我也爱你。拜拜。"

  old "For now, I'll write down 'jewelry, various'."
  new "眼下，我会记成“珠宝，各类”。"

  old "Yes, my baby. I've got pictures right here - "
  new "是的，我的宝贝。我这儿就有照片—"

  old "But we're doing everything we can to locate the person or persons responsible and see that they're held accountable for their crimes."
  new "但我们正在尽最大努力查找相关责任人，确保他们为自己的罪行付出代价。"

  old "I close my mouth."
  new "我闭上了嘴。"

  old "No, it was all cleaned up. It's not exactly a crime scene, so putting up tape to preserve it would worry citizens for no reason."
  new "是的，现场已经被清理过了。这并不算是犯罪现场，所以如果张贴保护带，反而会让市民产生不必要的担心。"

  old "Right. Good. So I'll call you if there's any new developments."
  new "好，如果有新的进展，我会给你打电话。"

  old "There's not much wood left, but it hasn't been broken up and scattered. The fire was probably allowed to burn itself out, or almost-out, and then watered."
  new "剩下的木头并不多，但却没有烧烂或散开。很可能是放任火自己烧尽，或者几乎熄灭后，再浇了水。"

  old "I set down my purse and the mail and grab the jar of Timmy's treats from the closet."
  new "我把钱包和邮件放下，从柜子里拿起提米的零食罐。"

  old "If there's anything else you'd like me to do, if you want me to search the woods or check the fence or - "
  new "如果你还有什么需要我做的，想让我去树林里搜索或检查围栏什么的——"

  old "I can't wait to get home."
  new "我想赶紧回家。"

  old "I'm an 'expert opinion' on esoteric religion. Finally I get to use the degree for something other than naming priests and demons."
  new "在神秘宗教方面，我能提供“专家意见”。终于，我可以用学位做些其他的事情，而不是只用来给神父和恶魔起名字。"

  old "All right, then. I'll let the two of you plan out your strategy."
  new "那好吧，我给你们俩空间来制定你们的策略。"

  old "Anyway, I don't see anything obviously controversial."
  new "总之，我没看到什么明显不对劲的东西。"

  old "I'm sorry, what?"
  new "抱歉，你说什么？"

  old "I'm not an expert on parks and gardens."
  new "我并不是公园和植物园方面的专家。"

  old "Many police departments had to be completely disbanded and rebuilt from the ground up around what should have been their guiding principle all along: to protect the public, not themselves."
  new "许多警察部门不得不彻底解散，围绕着本应始终遵循的原则——保护民众，而非自保——来从头开始重建。"

  old "Test results aren't back yet, so we don't know if it's blood. And if it is blood, we don't know if it's human."
  new "测试结果还没有出来，所以我们还不知道这是不是血液。就算这是血液，我们也不知道是否取自人类。"

  old "Well, I'm not always here, you know, but my files are."
  new "好吧，我并不总在这里，但我的文件在。"

  old "She walks ahead of me. I pause for a moment, taking a last chance to survey the scene."
  new "她走在我前面。我停下片刻，把握最后的机会，仔细审视周围的景象。"

  old "She walks like a woman in complete control of her body. Never surprised. Never vulnerable. The very model of a woman warrior.{w}\nAnd far too familiar."
  new "她走路的姿态潇洒恣意。从容不迫，坚定有力。简直是武士的典范。{w}  \n就是看起来好眼熟。"

  old "Click on the image to investigate points of interest. You must find all the clues to proceed.\n\nIf you aren't using a mouse, go to the game menu and select {b}Mouse Free Mode{/b}. The puzzle will shift to allow you to select clues directly."
  new "点击图片以调查感兴趣的部分。你必须找到所有线索才能继续。\n\n如果你没有使用鼠标，进入游戏菜单并选择{b}鼠标自由模式{/b}。谜题会调整，允许你直接选择线索。"

  old "Hmm? Well, we don't know the time exactly, but the site wasn't discovered until morning. It probably happened after hours."
  new "嗯？……具体什么时候我们不知道，但到了早上才有人发现，所以可能是在闭园后发生的。"

  old "I mean, I would if she asked. {w}Because it's polite."
  new "我是说，如果她邀请的话，我会去的。 {w}出于礼貌。"

  old "I point to the photo of the shop."
  new "我指向那张商店的照片。"

  old "Ah. Actually... Kizzy's taking one of those correspondence courses to get her psychic certificate after high school..."
  new "啊，其实……基兹正在上那种函授课程，高中毕业后要拿一个通灵证书呢……"

  old "... I suppose she doesn't have to be in a {i}relationship{/i} to have {i}plans.{/i}"
  new "…我想她不一定非得处于一段{i}关系{/i}中才会有{i}计划{/i}。"

  old "Let's get down to business."
  new "开始谈谈正事吧。"

  old "It doesn't?"
  new "不是吗？"

  old "I wait for a moment, but she doesn't say anything more.{w}\nShe doesn't ask about me."
  new "我等了一会，但她没有再说话。{w}\n她都没有问问我的情况。"

  old "She is trying to support me. I ought to show better manners."
  new "她是想要安慰我。我应该表现得态度好点。"

  old "Well, now that you mention it..."
  new "哦，你现在这么一说……"

  old "Someone made an effort to put all these bits of paper down and hold them in place. If the fire had spread, all those symbols would have been destroyed."
  new "有人努力把这些纸片都布置下并固定好。如果火势蔓延，这些符号全都会被烧毁。"

  old "Anyway, I'm only a substitute teacher. Most of the time it's just me and my writing."
  new "随便啦，我不过是个代课老师。大部分时间都是我独自待着，拿着笔杆写作。"

  old "The eye inside the hand was also used in the Mississippi culture. It might represent a portal to the Otherworld."
  new "密西西比文化中也有这类掌中之眼。它可能象征着通往另一个世界的门户。"

  old "Let's look at these pictures."
  new "我们来看看这些照片吧。"

  old "That's a pity."
  new "太可惜了。"

  old "He's worth every penny, of course, but it was more than I wanted to spend. Coupon-clipping can only do so much."
  new "每一分钱都没有白花，这是当然的。但是花费的比我想象的还要多。优惠券的能力也就到此为止了。"

  old "I said, I have plans tonight, so I won't keep you out too late."
  new "我说，我今晚有约了，所以我不会让你在外面待太晚。"

  old "That's when I started to understand how I felt and who I was."
  new "就是在这之后，我开始明白自己的感受，也意识到我的特质。"

  old "Right, Captain."
  new "好的队长。"

  old "I didn't think I'd ever see her again. I certainly never expected to see her like this - a professional, whose hair is longer than mine. But now that I have, I can't imagine her any other way."
  new "我从没想到还能再见到她。我也绝对没想到会看到她以———专业人士的形象出现，她的头发比我还长。但现在见到她了，反而难以想象她会是别的样子。"

  old "I've found it's a lot easier to make a good impression when I can see someone and smile at them."
  new "我发现，要是我能当面与人交谈，脸上还带着微笑，会更容易给对方留下好印象。"

  old "My work schedule is erratic, so there's no consistent routine for me coming and going for him to get used to. He's well-behaved by himself, but he's always excited to see me."
  new "我的工作时间不规律，所以没有固定的在家时间能让他习惯。他自己待着的时候很乖，但每次看到我都会很兴奋。"

  old "I don't suppose this site is still intact?"
  new "我想这个现场应该已经不完整了吧？"

  old "Uh... Where's her desk?"
  new "呃......她的工位在哪？"

  old "A harsh voice suddenly cuts into my thoughts."
  new "一个刺耳的声音突然打断了我的思绪。"

  old "So yes, it's close enough."
  new "所以你说的对，这差不多。"

  old "It could have been worse. I could have ended up with someone my father's age, with a walrus mustache and a thick hand on my - "
  new "这已经不错了。我本可能和一个年纪和我父亲差不多的男人一起工作，他留着海象胡须，还把粗壮的手掌随意地放在我的——"

  old "She's so - poised? Is that the word I would use, if I were describing this scene? She looks confident, professional, like she completely {i}fits{/i} in her attire."
  new "她看起来——很优雅？这个词用得对吗？如果让我来描述的话。她看起来自信、专业，完全和她的制服{i}匹配{/i}。"

  old "Look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry-"
  new "是这样，我只是想对你说声抱歉——"

  old "Yeah, probably, but I'm not an expert."
  new "是，有可能。但我不是这方面的专家。"

  old "The woman on the screen pumps a shotgun and sneers at the camera. That's one way to chase off family problems! But I never wanted to learn to shoot."
  new "屏幕上的女人拉动猎枪，冷笑着看向镜头。这倒是一种解决家庭问题的方式！不过我可从没想过要学开枪。"

  old "I hide my wince. I doubt she has any idea what a 'Puerto Rican' looks like."
  new "我强忍住皱眉，怀疑她估计根本不知道“波多黎各人”是什么样子的。"

  old "I'm in no position to buy a new car no matter how they price it."
  new "不管如何定价，我都买不起新车。"

  old "Personally, I think Mrs. Mayberry just happened to see the kidnapper driving that child around the state in his pickup truck, and when she called in for the reward, she made up the story about a vision so she could drive attention to her fortune-telling business."
  new "个人认为，梅贝里夫人只是碰巧看到绑架犯开着那辆皮卡车载着孩子在州内行驶，而当她为了领取悬赏而报警时，编造了关于“预见”的故事，好吸引人们关注她的算命生意。"

  old "Finally, some proper international romantic spy drama to take my mind off things!"
  new "终于，开始播正经的国际浪漫谍战剧了，让我暂时忘掉这些烦心事！"

  old "No one could forget that. The old police, up in Pennsylvania, got so caught up in 'consequences for criminals' that they dropped a bomb on an American neighborhood. An actual bomb, like we were all afraid the Soviets would do some day."
  new "没人能忘记那件事。宾夕法尼亚州的老警察们太过专注于“罪犯应受惩罚”，以至于在美国的一个社区投下了炸弹。真的炸弹，就像我们都担心苏联有一天会做的那样。"

  old "When would I have had the time? Bad enough I had to clean up that window."
  new "我什么时候有时间做这些？已经够糟糕的了，我还得清理那扇窗户。"

  old "... I don't think she responds that well to me."
  new "…我觉得她对我的态度不是很好。"

  old "Well. Things don't always work out the way we expect."
  new "事情并不总是如我们所期望的一样。"

  old "The thief was, like, Puerto Rican or something. Didn't get his name."
  new "那个贼，像是，波多黎各人或者别的什么地方的吧。我没问他的名字。"

  old "I suppose if the police are paying me to investigate, they want me to do more than sit here and read."
  new "我想，如果警察付钱让我调查，他们希望我做的肯定不只是坐在这里看东西。"

  old "Right, the store."
  new "是了，那个商店。"

  old "She's right that it's a short distance on the map, but it also looks like untouched forest in that patch. Branches, brambles, leaves, mud..."
  new "她说得对，地图上显示的距离确实很短，但那一片区域看起来像是原始森林。到处都是树枝、灌木、落叶、泥土……"

  old "The next semester we managed to arrange student housing together so that we could be roommates. No more visiting restrictions, no one to question the time we spent with each other."
  new "到下个学期，我们成功地申请到了一间宿舍，顺利成章地成为了室友。再也没有探访限制了，也不会再有人多问我们为什么老是在对方身边。"

  old "These are Nazar charms. They're good luck. They ward off the evil eye."
  new "这些是纳扎尔护符，能带来好运，并能抵御邪恶之眼的侵害。"

  old "I'm sure some of these are worth money, but I don't know anything about the sport or the players."
  new "我相信其中有些很值钱，但我对这项运动或球员一无所知。"

  old "Don't the kids call you that at school?"
  new "学校里的孩子们不这么称呼你吗？"

  old "Which didn't stop Timmy that one time, but he's better trained now."
  new "以前有次没能阻止提米偷吃，不过他现在听话多了。"

  old "Timmy likes to snap up bits of the dry noodles, but I don't let him have very much."
  new "提米喜欢抢干面条渣，但我不允许他吃太多。"

  old "If they came crashing through the woods, might they have left a trail?"
  new "如果他们闯入树林，会不会留下什么痕迹？"

  old "The right hand is supposed to reflect what you've chosen for yourself, and the left hand is your original destiny, if you'd let fate carry you along."
  new "右手代表的应该是你为自己选择的道路，而左手则是你原本的命运，假设你任由命运摆布的话。"

  old "Really, it's fine. I'm not going to give you a bad grade."
  new "说真的，没关系的。我不会给你打低分的。"

  old "I brought a couple of books on local legends with me to the police department today just in case they were useful, but it wouldn't have been practical to carry the whole collection."
  new "以防万一，我今天带了几本当地传说的书到警察局。但把所有书都带过来显然不太实际。"

  old "Actually, we should probably get going. I don't think there's anything else to find here."
  new "其实，我们该继续行动了。我觉得这里找不到别的线索了。"

  old "The scene changes to show a bunch of sad people crammed into an elevator together."
  new "镜头一转，一群悲伤的人挤在电梯里。"

  old "It wouldn't be so quiet at night in summer, when the bugs are out and the air throbs all around you. But when the weather is cool and wet, like it has been, the night would be a cascade of drips and rustling."
  new "夏天的夜晚不会如此安静，一般总是虫鸣不断，周围的空气也在躁动。但如果天气凉爽湿润，就像现在这样，晚上就会听到阵阵滴水声和沙沙的树响。"

  old "Jackie hangs up the phone."
  new "杰基挂断了电话。"

  old "We're not sure that {i}was{/i} an evil eye..."
  new "我们不确定那个 {i}是否是{/i} 邪恶之眼……"

  old "I open the office door and make my way inside, feeling unreasonably apprehensive."
  new "我打开办公室的门，走了进去，莫名感到不安。"

  old "Uh, how old a kid are we talking about here?"
  new "呃，这个孩子多大年纪？"

  old "In any case, it's obvious why the owner was so upset about the vandalism. Even in a bad neighborhood, being marked up like that can't be good for business."
  new "无论怎样，店主都对这种故意破坏的行为极度不满，个中原因显而易见。即便这个街区治安不好，但店面被涂成那样，生意肯定也受到了影响。"

  old "So it {i}is{/i} an evil eye."
  new "所以这{i}确实{/i}是邪恶的眼睛。"

  old "I can't help it if my metabolism works that way!"
  new "我的代谢就是这样运作的，我也没办法！"

  old "Call me if you need anything. There's coffee and water down the hall."
  new "有什么需要的就叫我。大厅里有咖啡和水。"

  old "Okay, so someone burned a whole duck. It must have been already dead when they brought it here."
  new "好吧，那就意味着有人把整只鸭子烧了。鸭子应该是在被带到这里之前就已经死了。"

  old "We get hurt. We don't usually die. And it's for a cause."
  new "我们会受伤，但一般不会死。而且这都是为了正义的事业。"

  old "These lines mean the palm is facing forward, so it's a left hand. That could mean the Left-Hand Path, dark magic, or breaking taboos."
  new "这些线条说明手心向前，所以这是左手。这可能意味着左手路径、黑魔法或打破禁忌。"

  old "Of course, 'magic' is out of fashion now in favor of 'psionic phenomena' and anything that sounds halfway-scientific."
  new "当然，现在“魔法”已经过时，取而代之的是“心灵现象”和那些听起来半吊子的科学术语。"

  old "I squint at the scorched bones. Two legs, a long neck, and a beaked head: obviously a bird. Too big for a pigeon. The beak is too long for a chicken and too short for a seagull."
  new "我眯着眼看着那些焦黑的骨头。两条腿，一根长脖子，还有一个有喙的头：显然是一只鸟。它太大，不像鸽子。喙太长，不像鸡，而又太短，不像海鸥。"

  old "I'll tell you more when Jack gets here."
  new "等杰克到了我们再细说。"

  old "So it's not an evil eye?"
  new "所以，这并非不详之眼？"

  old "Come on, let's roll. Pull out the map so I can see which way to go."
  new "来吧，我们快点出发。把地图拿出来我看看怎么走。"

  old "I know it's hopeless. It's been hopeless for a long time. I'm not expecting a miracle."
  new "我知道希望渺茫，这么久了都是这样。我也不指望发生什么奇迹。"

  old "It's possible that it was a pet that died and they were giving it a funeral."
  new "有可能那只鸭子是只宠物，已经死了，那些人是在给它举行葬礼。"

  old "I'm sure I'm in safe hands."
  new "我相信我是安全的。"

  old "Is he suggesting that I only got this job because an over-imaginative teenager recommended me as the least 'sensitive' expert available?"
  new "他是在暗示我之所以得到这份工作，是因为一个过于富有想象力的青少年推荐我作为最不“敏感”的专家吗？"

  old "I remember..."
  new "我还记得......"

  old "Woof! Woof!"
  new "汪！汪！"

  old "I wait for her to ask the same question in response, but she says nothing."
  new "我等着她提出同样的问题作为回应，可她什么也没说。"

  old "Don't I need to pay for my ticket?"
  new "我不用给自己买票吗？"

  old "So I'm very excited about this opportunity."
  new "所以我非常期待这个机会。"

  old "The charms are visible through the window from outside, so there might be some connection. Although they probably weren't visible at night when the graffiti was painted, since the window would have been dark."
  new "透过窗户能从外面看到这些护身符，所以它们可能有某种联系。不过，画上涂鸦的那天晚上，或许看不见这些护身符，因为那时窗户是黑着的。"

  old "Or a burglar, if they thought anything was worth taking."
  new "也可能是小偷，如果他们觉得这儿有什么值钱东西的话。"

  old "Yes, sir - ah, Mr. Williams -{fast} uh, 'Captain'?"
  new "好的，先生——啊，威廉姆斯先生——{fast}呃，“队长”？"

  old "The remains of a small fire, smaller than the ones I remember making for s'mores on scout trips. It looks like it was less than two feet across."
  new "这是一个小火堆，甚至比我记忆中在童子军旅行中为了做巧克力饼干而生的小火堆还要小。它的直径看起来不到两英尺。"

  old "Oh, yes, the lady at the front desk was very welcoming. She told me where to go."
  new "哦，是的，前台的那位女士非常热情。她和我讲了要怎么过来。"

  old "Thank you, Captain. I'll go find Jackie."
  new "谢谢你，队长。我现在去找杰基。"

  old "Her eyes meet mine, cold and blue, giving nothing away."
  new "她的目光与我交汇，眸子冰冷而湛蓝，不露声色。"

  old "Maybe this is what I need to chase out the ghosts and hammer the message into every corner of my subconscious. There's nothing there. It's over."
  new "也许这正是我需要的，逼自己把一切幽灵都从心里抹去，把这个消息钉进潜意识的每个角落——那里什么都没有，已经结束了。"

  old "It's what I expected, really. Mr. Williams is a nice man, but the world is what it is. And in this world, the South is not a safe place to be known as a homosexual."
  new "这其实在我预料之中。威廉姆斯先生是个好人，但这个世界就是如此。在南方，并不能安全地公开同性恋身份。"

  old "No, but you're trying to get into these people's heads. You can recognise what might matter to some cult, or whatever."

  old "You're the official representative. She'll take you more seriously."

  old "And since I'm filling in absences, my work with the school system is unpredictable. So is the baby-sitting. Folks don't need me all the time."

  new "火堆周围被石块围起来，以防火焰失控，就像童子军教我们的一样。我没有看到附近有任何工具，比如水桶或火钩，不过也有可能是点火的人在事后把这些工具带走了。"

  old "Or the lines might only be meant to connect the fire to these other symbols, or draw attention to them."
  new "或者，这些线条可能仅仅是为了将火与其他符号连接起来，又或者是为了将目光引向这些符号。"

  old "It's hard enough, just being a single woman without a man to 'keep' you."
  new "当一个没有男人可以“依靠”的单身女性已经够难了。"

  old "There are a few people here in the South who wouldn't be happy about their children being taught by someone who'd also written sword-and-sorcery novels featuring women in leather bikinis."
  new "在南方，有些人恐怕不太愿意让孩子给一个写剑与魔法小说的人当学生，尤其是小说里的女角色还穿着皮质比基尼。"

  old "Each crystal is meant to have different vibrations, so the color shows what it's meant to affect. Promote love, bring good luck, ward off drunkenness... there's a charm for everything."
  new "每块水晶都有独特的能量频率，而它的颜色代表了它所能影响的领域。无论是促进恋情、带来好运，还是避免宿醉，几乎每种需求都有相应的护符。"

  new "我不是要说她的衣服很合身，虽然确实很合身。还想说她整体看起来很{i}协调{/i}。一切都配合得恰到好处。她的面容，她的衣着，她的神情举止。她看起来很自在，对生活游刃有余。"

  old "I suppose it's more likely that it was a sacrifice."

  old "So, what exactly is the situation? What is the case?"
  new "那么，具体是什么情况？给我讲讲案子？"

  old "That's right, the fire was last week or thereabouts. And the police already checked the area when they took the photographs. Any clue in the woods would either have been found already or be trampled up by now."
  new "确实，篝火点燃的时间差不多是上周。而且警察在拍照片的时候就已经检查了周边地区。树林里的线索要么已经收集起来了，要么已经被破坏了。"

  old "No, I'm not in a relationship."

  old "Diane? What are you still doing here?"
  new "黛安娜？你还在这里做什么？"

  old "No, she didn't say anything about that."

  old "We didn't take the same classes. We always had our own schedules, our moments of separation. I didn't want to be controlling and demand that she spend all her time with me."
  new "我们没有修同样的课程，总是有各自的安排，也保有私人空间。我不想显得过于有控制欲，要求她把所有时间都留给我。"

  old "I'm pretty sure she doesn't rate an office of her own."
  new "我很确定她还没有资格拥有自己的办公室。"

  old "I turn to see an older woman, her face already half-stiffened into a scowl. A cloud of hairspray surrounds her, holding her faded blond tresses in position as surely as if they were wired in place."
  new "我转过身，看到一位年长女性，她的脸半拉着，已经皱起了眉头。她身上弥漫着浓烈的发胶味，把她那几缕已经褪色的金发牢牢固定在原位，就好像是用铁丝给绑住了。"

  old "So we've got a bit of time, then."
  new "那么我们还有一点时间。"

  old "These look like that charm you have in your car."

  new "我们写作课的助教——就是教学助理，一个为教授做杂务的研究生——建议我们学生去参加一次晚上的诗歌朗诵会，说是可以帮助我们更好地理解课程内容。"

  new "再过一会儿我们就该想晚餐的事了，你不觉得吗？"

  old "That's what we're worried about. Blood sacrifice."

  old "It's her long-distance bill, not mine, so I don't want to hurry her along. I know she's a bit lonely and arranges her budget to make sure we keep in contact."
  new "那是她的长途话费，不是我的，所以我不想催她。我知道她有点孤单，而且会自己安排好预算，确保我们保持联系。"

  old "From that point on, my whole world changed. She taught me how to please a woman, starting with myself. I hadn't even known that much. There was no such thing as sexual education in my school. It just wasn't talked about. I had no idea how much I'd been missing."
  new "从那一刻起，我的整个世界都变得不一样。她教会我如何取悦女人，就从我自己开始。我以前并不知道这么多。我就读的学校里根本不存在什么性教育。没有人会谈论这个话题。我不知道自己错过了多少。"

  new "她没细说。"

  old "What about what he was wearing? Any bandanas? Purple shoelaces?"
  new "那么他当时的着装如何？有没有戴头巾？鞋带是紫色的吗？"

  old ">> STAND UP. WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND YOURSELF. SAY ALOUD: I DESERVE TO BE LOVED. I DESERVE TO BE POWERFUL. I CAN ATTRACT THE FORTUNE I DESERVE."
  new ">> 站起来，用双臂环绕自己，大声说：我值得被爱。我值得拥有力量。我能吸引我应得的财富。"

  old "Anyway, I'll mark them on the list."
  new "不管怎样，我会把它们记在单子上的。"

  old "Oh, you finished the book? What did you think?"
  new "喔，你看完那本书了？你觉得怎么样？"

  old "We're here to do a job, right? So let's get to it."
  new "我们在这里是为了工作，对吧？那就开始吧。"

  old "Mrs. Wilcox? Ma'am?"
  new "威尔科克斯夫人？女士？"

  old "For all we know she's like that all the time. Doesn't matter. She still has the right to protection and to politeness."
  new "据我们所知，她一直都是那个样子。但这不重要。无论如何，她仍然有权得到保护和礼貌的对待。"

  old "But you became a police officer."
  new "但你当了一名警察。"

  new "那你的时间呢，是不是被浪费了？"

  old "The street itself is quiet, though I can see some activity off in the distance. I think there's a restaurant down that way."

  old "Focus, Diane!"
  new "专心点，黛安娜！"

  old "Professional manners are a requirement in this department... ma'am."
  new "在这个部门，专业的举止是必需的……女士。"

  old "There's a tray of 'birthstone' jewelry set out in a grid by month, modified to be the cheapest versions of the possible stones. Unlike most of the items, these are clearly new. You could find a tray just like this in any department store's little-girls section."
  new "有一个摆着“生辰石”珠宝的托盘，石头按月份排列，用的都是最便宜的那种。与大多数其他东西不同，这些显然是新的。在任何百货商店的小女孩用品区，你都能找到一个这样的托盘。"

  old "Animal sacrifices aren't always about negative energies. Incense, valuables, and food are often burned to gift them to deities."
  new "动物献祭并不总是负面的。香火、贵重物品和食物常常被焚烧，用以献给神明。"

  old "Purely by chance, we were both assigned to the same English Composition section in our first semester."
  new "纯粹是巧合，我们俩在第一学期被分到了同一个英语写作课。"

  old "I certainly didn't."
  new "我当然不这么觉得。"

  old "That's not really proof of anything, is it?"
  new "这也不能证明什么，对吧？"

  old "I don't like to think about a poor little duck being burned alive, but even if someone were that twisted and mean, they would need a cage to hold it in place, wouldn't they?"
  new "我不喜欢想象一只可怜的小鸭子被活活烧死，但即便有人心肠那么扭曲和恶毒，这些人也得有个笼子把它固定住吧？"

  old "I wonder how many little girls come in here?"
  new "我想知道平时有多少小姑娘会来这儿？"

  old "We're doing our best to help - "
  new "我们已经在尽最大的努力—"

  old "I cut myself off. It's obvious that she doesn't have a compass, and complaining about it isn't going to change the facts. I just have to work with it."
  new "我强行忍住了。显然她没有指南针，抱怨也无济于事。我还是继续干活吧。"

  old "My eyes fall on the charm hanging from the rearview mirror. It's a gold wire pyramid with a reddish-orange banded stone hanging in the center."
  new "我的目光落在后视镜的挂饰上。那是一个金色铁丝做的金字塔，中间挂着一颗带有红橙色条纹的石头。"

  old "Beyond that, there's a hill covered with daffodils and a trail lined with blooming dogwood trees, but we don't turn towards the flowers. We follow the pebbled path to its end and continue on fainter dirt trails, away from gardens and into the woods."
  new "桥对岸是一座小山，开满了水仙花；还有一条小径，路旁是绽放的山茱萸。但我们没有朝花丛走。我们沿着鹅卵石小路，一路走到尽头，然后继续走上鲜有人问津的泥土小道，远离花园，进入了树林。"

  old "I turn my head away, hunting for a distraction."
  new "我转过头，让自己想些别的。"

  old "I must have zoned out for a second. What did you say?"
  new "我刚才肯定晃神了。你刚刚说了什么？"

  old "Look at the fire. It's completely surrounded by rocks, with bare ground around that, just the way they taught us to make campfires when I was little."
  new "你看这堆火。它完全被石块围住，周围是裸露的土地，就像我们小时候学的那样，生火露营就是这样的。"

  old "I suppose she has a right to be in a bad mood after someone defaced her store."
  new "我觉得在有人破坏了她的商店后，她心情不好也是情有可原。"

  old "That's not unusual. There were literally thousands of other freshmen in the same situation, every year. There's nothing special about it."
  new "这不是什么稀奇事，每年都有数千个与我们情况相同的新生入学。没什么特别的。"

  old "We get out of the car and close the doors."
  new "我们下了车，关上车门。"

  old "Details matter! The precise ritual meaning - "
  new "细节很重要！准确的仪式含义——"

  old "Sun gods are central to many pantheons. There is no life without the sun."

  old "I'm a fantasy author. I write adventures and dreams for other people, to take them away from the world for a little while."
  new "我是个奇幻小说作家。我为别人编写冒险与梦想，让他们暂时摆脱现实世界的束缚。"

  old "This setup is more like a Hand of Mysteries, except then there would be a fish."
  new "这种画法看起来更像是神秘之手，不过少画了条鱼。"

  old "Let's go see what we can see."
  new "我们去看看还能找到什么吧。"

  old "Investigate:\n\nFlowerpots\nNational Geographics\nJewelry\nBlue glass charms\nCrystal pyramids\nToys\nBooks\nFiling cabinets"
  new "调查：\n\n花盆\n《国家地理》\n珠宝\n蓝色玻璃护符\n水晶金字塔\n玩具\n书籍\n档案柜"

  old "Some thrift stores still do a lot of business in old Jim Crow signs, but there's nothing like that here. I didn't see any hoochie-coochie pictures, either. No Soviet collectibles. Not even much of anything religious."
  new "有些二手店依然生意兴隆，专卖那些吉姆·克劳时期的种族隔离标志，但这里可没有那种东西。我也没看到什么风月情画，没看到苏联收藏品，甚至连宗教类的东西也少得可怜。"

  old "Y'all know how worked up people can get about 'witchcraft'. We don't want things getting out of hand."
  new "你们都知道人们多容易因为“巫术”这种东西而恐慌。我们不希望事情脱离控制。"

  old "Camping? Yeah."
  new "烤营火吗?对。"

  old "It doesn't change the fact that 'psychic powers' are still a bunch of hooey."
  new "不过事实就是事实——“通灵能力”依然是一派胡言。"

  old "Is this... blood?"
  new "这是......血吗？"

  old "I'm really more of a dog person than a plant person. Plants are too quiet."
  new "我其实更喜欢狗，而不是植物。植物太安静了。"

  old "However, even if the symbols and the lines are gone, those logs should still be in place. And from that I can work out the orientation of the symbols in the photo."
  new "不过，就算符号和线条被清理掉了，那些木桩应该还在原本的位置。根据这个，我可以推测出照片中符号的朝向。"

  old "Plastic pages, each with a sleeve to hold a paper card. Baseball cards?"
  new "里面有些塑料页，每页都有一个插槽可以放置纸质卡片，是棒球卡吗？"

  old "Compared to her, I feel like a child wearing my mother's dress and high heels, still desperately trying not to tip over when I walk."
  new "与她相比，我觉得自己就像是一个穿着母亲的裙子和高跟鞋的孩子，还在拼命地小心在走路时不摔倒。"

  old "I'm pretty sure they were thrown away."
  new "我很确定那些纸张都被丢了。"

  old "Any initial conclusions?"
  new "有初步结论吗？"

  old "I can't read what all of the symbols inside the fingers are. They're too messy."
  new "我辨认不出手指内的所有符号，画得太乱了。"

  old "Nah. They ran off."
  new "没，他们逃走了。"

  old "It's afternoon. Just look at the sun and shadows."
  new "到下午了。看太阳和影子就知道了。"

  old "And didn't the captain say that this {i}wasn't{/i} a camping area? If that's true, then whoever made the fire had to set it up themselves."
  new "而且队长不是说过这个地方{i}不是{/i}露营区吗？如果没说错，那么这堆火一定是烧火的人自己搭建的。"

  old "Thought you were going to call me 'Captain' here?"
  new "我还以为你会在这里叫我“队长”呢？"

  old "I'm glad the photographer managed to take in the whole scene, but it would have been helpful if they'd included some notes about orientation."
  new "我很高兴摄影师能拍下整个场景，但如果他们能附上一些关于方位的说明就更有帮助了。"

  old "I try to remember."
  new "我试着回想了一下。"

  old "I went because I was interested in poetry and writing. Jackie went to get extra credit to save her grade. And that's where I first really saw her."
  new "我去是因为对诗歌和写作感兴趣。杰基去是为了获得额外的学分来保住她的绩点。也正是在那里，我第一次真正注意到她。"

  old "I dial up the smile as brightly as I can."
  new "我尽力露出最灿烂的笑容。"

  old "Yes, ma'am. Ah - you don't happen to know the names of these kids, do you? Got a description?"
  new "是的，女士。啊——请问您知道这些孩子的名字吗？或者能提供一些描述吗？"

  old "Uh, yeah. It's a charm against theft."
  new "呃，对。这是用来防盗的护符。"

  old "Nothing residential, definitely no surveillance cameras. No night witnesses."
  new "这里没有住宅，肯定也没有监控摄像头，更别说晚上有目击证人。"

  old "It worked, too; I hear her client list now is like a {i}Who's Who{/i} of Hollywood. Even the government wants her advice on deals and diplomacy! And by now the Soviets probably have their own Mrs. Mayberry reading tea leaves behind the Iron Curtain to retaliate."
  new "而她的计划奏效了！我听说她的客户名单如今堪比{i}好莱坞名人录{/i}，甚至连政府都想向她请教交易和外交事务！恐怕此时苏联也已经在铁幕后培养了自己的“梅贝里夫人”，靠着茶叶占卜来进行反制了。"

  old "Did you know I was here before you walked through that door?"
  new "在你走进那扇门之前，你知道我在这里吗？"

  old "Around the store a variety of gold wire pyramids have been placed on top of empty surfaces, each one with a different colored 'crystal' hanging in the center. Most of them aren't really crystals, though, but stones tumbled smooth and shiny."
  new "店里四处摆放着各种金线做的金字塔，摆放在空旷平面的中央位置上，每个金字塔中间都挂着一个不同颜色的“水晶”。但这些东西实际上大多数并不是真正的水晶，而是被打磨得光滑闪亮的石头。"

  old "Can you believe she ended up in law enforcement? If I'd had to bet, I would have put money on her being arrested instead. Would have sounded more likely."
  new "你能相信她最后竟然去了执法部门吗？如果要我打赌，我会赌她最终会进局子，而不是当警察。这听起来更有可能。"

  old "Then I head to the bookshelves to find my {i}Introduction to Tantra{/i}. I should start doing some research on those symbols from the fire."
  new "接着我走向书架，去找我的{i}《坦特罗导论》{/i}，我得开始研究一下那些篝火旁的符号。"

  old "Not really."
  new "不太行得通。"

  old "Only you can prevent forest fires."
  new "只有你能防止森林火灾。"

  old "I try to control my flinch and put a bright smile on my face. This must be the Lucky Penny's owner - Jolene Wilcox."
  new "我强忍住内心的退缩，挤出一个灿烂的笑容。这一定就是“幸运便士”的老板——乔琳·威尔科克斯。"

  old "Does that have anything to do with the evil eye that was painted on the window?"
  new "这只眼睛和窗户上画的邪恶之眼有关系吗？"

  old "I didn't think so. I see these in stores all over the place."
  new "我不这么觉得。各处的商店都有这种石头。"

  old "The friend was waiting outside, probably to pass over the loot. Didn't get as good a look at him."
  new "他的朋友在外面等着，可能是打算把赃物带走，我没看清他的样子。"

  old "No... it depends on your location and the time of year."
  new "不是……要看你所在的位置和所处的季节。"

  old "Why do you say that?"
  new "为什么这么说？"

  old "After I accepted that it was just {i}me{/i}... it took a while, but I finally found the courage to confess my feelings to Jackie. I was afraid she'd be disgusted, or insist that I needed therapy."
  new "在我接受了自己{i}原本的模样{/i}之后......这花了有一段时间。我最终还是鼓起勇气向杰基表明了我的心意。我本来担心她会觉得恶心，或者坚持让我去治疗。"

  old "There's a jewelry display set up in the front window and a larger case in the center of the store, as well as a few baskets and swivel-stands here and there."
  new "前窗有一个珠宝展示架，店中央放着一个更大的展示柜，其他地方还散布着几个篮子和旋转展示架。"

  old "It might have been someone's dinner. They could have thrown the leftover scraps in the fire to clean them up."
  new "这可能是某人的晚餐。那些人可能把剩下的骨头扔进火里焚烧，为了清理。"

  old "You'll have to ask her."
  new "你得问问她。"

  old "I mean, not really."

  old "It's an outline in the shape of a hand, slightly similar to the ones you'd see on signs to advertise palm-reading services."
  new "这是一个手掌形状的轮廓，有点像手相解读广告上看到的那样。"

  old "They killed their targets... and their neighbors... and their children. A whole block of houses was wiped out."
  new "他们杀死了行动目标...还有这些人的邻居...以及孩子们。一整排的房子都被炸毁了。"

  old "That would mean ten people, though, and that seems like too many to pass through the woods without doing permanent damage. Fewer than that, I would think. Maybe even just one."
  new "如果这么算，得有十个人。可如果有多人穿过树林，恐怕会留下无法复原的破坏痕迹。我觉得应该没那么多人，甚至可能就只有一个人。"

  old "There could be a lot of students in this neighborhood, but these particular shops are more on the outskirts, and slightly run-down. Not as many people walk out here."
  new "这附近可能有很多学生，但这些商店位于郊区，稍微有些破旧，走动的人并不多。"

  old "Yeah. We went to the same college."
  new "是的。我们在同一所大学读书。"

  old "Oh, that's a good idea, I {i}should{/i} make a dessert! Maybe that spice cake with walnuts?"
  new "哦，这主意真不错，我{i}是该{/i}做一份甜点！要不做核桃香料蛋糕？"

  old "Owner insisted on cleaning it all up ASAP so it didn't drive off her customers, but we've got pictures of what it looked like fresh."
  new "老板坚持要尽快清理干净，不然会把顾客吓跑，不过我们拍下了当时的照片。"

  old "I'm not sure there was anything to find here at all."
  new "我甚至不确定这里是不是真的能找到什么。"

  old "If I'd been expecting a hidden trove of golden treasures and mystical artifacts, I'd be disappointed. As it is, I'm simply confused. What drove a vandal to target a place like this?"
  new "如果我原本期待的是一个藏满了金银财宝和神秘器物的隐藏宝库，那我肯定会感到失望。现在我只是感到困惑，捣乱分子盯上这里是看中了什么？"

  old "This is strange. There are symbols all over this hand, and they look like alchemy symbols, but they're the wrong symbols, and they're in the wrong place."
  new "这很奇怪。这只手上到处都是符号，它们看起来像炼金术符号，但都是错误的，而且放的地方也不对。"

  old "There's a bracelet made of individual shiny black stones the size and shape of the pellets on a candy necklace."
  new "有个手链是用一颗颗闪亮的黑色石头制成的，这些石头的大小和形状就跟糖果项链上的小球一样。"

  old "More or less."
  new "差不多。"

  old "'Little Miss'?"
  new "“小姑娘”？"

  old "In palm-reading the left hand also means hidden potential, or unchanged fate."
  new "在手相中，左手也意味着隐藏的潜力，或未经改动的命运。"

  new "我不是在挑刺，也不讨厌艾莉森·梅贝里。我佩服她的营销头脑。我经纪人还希望我能吸引到那种程度的关注呢！{i}当然{/i}，我也非常高兴那个小女孩在遭遇不测之前就被救了。"

  new "差不多和那位小姑娘一样高，瘦瘦的，头发短短的，黑色的。"

  old "You'll probably want to go talk to her, see if she knows anything. Address and phone number are here."
  new "你可能需要去找她谈谈，看看她是否知道些什么。地址和电话号码在这里。"

  old "And a nice gentleman in the big room asked if I needed help and... called me ma'am."
  new "有这么一位好先生在宽敞的房间里询问我是否需要帮助......不过，叫我女士。"

  old "Thank you! We'll do our best."
  new "谢谢您！我们会全力调查的！"

  old "Someone must have stabbed a tool or a large stick into the damp ground and dragged it outwards, again and again. Each line is a couple of feet long and doesn't show much wobbling. It must have taken some time to set it all up."
  new "一定是有人把工具或一根大棍子插进潮湿的地面，然后一次又一次地往外拖拉。每条线大约有几英尺长，几乎没有出现明显的颤动。一定花了不少时间才布置好这一切。"

  old "There's a ring with a clear faceted stone set in deep so the top of the stone is flush with the metal of the band. The stone sparkles less that way, but it also won't catch on things so much. It's more practical."
  new "还有枚戒指，上面镶嵌着一颗透明的刻面宝石。嵌得很深，宝石的顶部与戒指的金属部分平齐。这样一来，宝石的光芒不如外露那样闪亮，但也不容易勾住东西，更加实用。"

  old "Being called ma'am makes me feel like I need to check my face for wrinkles. I'm not that old!"
  new "被叫做女士让我觉得是不是该看看自己脸上有没有皱纹。我没有那么老！"

  old "What clues are there here to tell me about the culprit's motives?"
  new "这里会不会有什么线索，能透露出罪犯的动机呢？"

  old "With some rituals, it makes a difference what you place facing north. The precise position of these symbols might be important to deciphering their meaning."
  new "在某些仪式中，朝北放置的物品至关重要。这些符号的精确位置可能对解读其含义起着决定性作用。"

  old "That's what y'all're supposed to be here for, idnit? So get on with it."
  new "这就是你们来这儿该做的，不是吗？赶紧开始吧。"

  old "After taking care of Timmy's needs, I make myself a nice pot of stovetop spaghetti."
  new "照顾完提米后，我给自己做了一锅煮意大利面作为晚餐。"

  old "Couple of nights ago. The owner, Jolene Wilcox, called it in first thing in the morning when she came by to open up for the day."
  new "几天前，店主乔琳·威尔科克斯早上一来开店就第一时间报了警。"

  new "我坐进副驾驶座，将包安放在脚边，随后理顺裙子，避免起皱。"

  old "We went to a Joan Jett concert together. It was amazing. I'd never heard such noise. Not just the singer and the band but the crowds and the energy... I couldn't sleep that night, I was still so excited. I saw lights flashing every time I closed my eyes."
  new "我们一起去看了琼·杰特的演唱会。那感觉太棒了。我从没听过这么大的声音。不只是说歌手和乐队，还有人群和那种能量……那天晚上我睡不着，我太兴奋了。每次闭上眼睛，我都能看到闪烁的灯光。"

  old "It looks like there's another driveway for service vehicles somewhere on the other side of the block, but otherwise the whole area is bounded by walls, hedges, and chain-link fencing."
  new "似乎在街区的另一侧还有条车道，除此之外，整个区域都被围墙、树篱和铁丝网环绕。"

  old "... well, if I mark down the sun's position at this exact time, I might be able to work out the true orientation later, if it's important."
  new "……嗯，如果我在这个时刻记录下太阳的位置，而这又是个重要信息，也许我可以算出准确的朝向。"

  old "Is... your family well?"
  new "你的......家人还好吗？"

  old "I find myself staring at her finger as it moves around and around the rotary dial, almost hypnotically."
  new "我不由自主地注视着她的手指，一圈又一圈地在旋转拨号盘上轻轻划过，几乎将我催眠。"

  old "There's a small number of old books near the front and a much larger collection lining the back wall."
  new "前面摆放着少量的一些旧书，而后墙则整齐地排列着数量大得多的书籍。"

  old "Oh - that's right by the Botanic Gardens. I haven't been there since I was little."
  new "哦——就在植物园旁边。我长大后就没去过那里了。"

  old "Nah, no gang colors that I saw. He had this black t-shirt with a skull on it, weird-looking skull with long teeth."
  new "哈，没看到什么帮派颜色。他穿着一件黑色T恤，上面有个骷髅图案，那个骷髅看起来很奇怪，牙齿长得特别长。"

  old "I tried to raise the subject, just to clear the air, but - she pretty much brushed it off. Not rude, just minimal. Quickest answer possible, then moving on."
  new "我试着提过这个话题，想让气氛好点，但她几乎是敷衍带过。倒不是多么粗鲁，只是很敷衍，有多快就答多快，然后转移话题。"

  old "Instead I found out that she'd had girlfriends before - but that she thought {i}I{/i} was too normal and pure to ever entertain such an idea!"
  new "相反，我发现她以前交过女朋友——但她觉得{i}我{/i}太过循规蹈矩和单纯，根本不会有这样的想法！"

  old "Not for a while. I've got things in the works but, you know, books don't finish themselves overnight."
  new "有得等了。我在着手准备，但你知道的，书可不会一夜之间把自己写完。"

  old "A compass? What for?"
  new "指南针？用来干什么？"

  old "You're right. That's a good idea."
  new "你说的对。这是个好主意。"

  old "Jack's job is to look official, act tough, ask questions, run any data you need through the system, and keep you out of trouble."
  new "杰克的工作是表现得公事公办，装得很强硬，问问题，用系统处理任何你需要的数据，并确保你不卷入麻烦。"

  old "The store sells toys, so it might attract children or parents. That's all I can say about that."
  new "这家店卖玩具，所以可能会吸引孩子或家长，我也只能这么判断了。"

  old "I wish whoever took this photograph had thought to move the rocks a little so I could see the symbols more clearly."
  new "我希望拍摄这张照片的人能稍微移动一下岩石，这样我就能更清楚地看到符号了。"

  old "Nobody knows."
  new "没有人知道。"

  old "My student dorm didn't allow visitors after dark. One night I was coming home from a late study session and saw a couple kissing goodbye outside. I looked at them, and the thought flashed into my mind: I wanted Jackie to kiss me like that."
  new "我所在的学生公寓不允许晚上来访客。某个夜晚，我刚从晚自习回来，看到一对情侣在路上吻别。我看到这个场景，脑海里闪过一个念头：我希望杰基会这样吻我。"

  old "Then lead the way."
  new "那就带路吧。"

  old "The photograph is focused on the window graffiti, so I can't get a good view of the area or tell what the shop sells other than the jewelry displays right behind the glass."
  new "这张照片聚焦在窗子的涂鸦上，所以无法看清楚周围的区域，也无法判断除了这家商店除了玻璃后展示的珠宝外还在卖些什么东西。"

  old "Wait here. I'll get us in."
  new "在这里等着。我去把我们弄进去。"

  old "I don't care about your best. If you're not arresting anyone, and you're not gonna guard my place, then take yourself out of my way."
  new "我才不管你说的“最大努力”。如果你既不逮捕任何人，又不打算看守我的店，那就离我远点。"

  old "Did you know it was going to be me that you were assigned to?"
  new "你知道我会被分配到和你一起吗？"

  old "... Not usually..."
  new "......通常没有......"

  old "I've never really let her go, have I?"
  new "我从未真正放下过她，对吧？"

  old "Click on the image to investigate points of interest. You must find all the clues to proceed."
  new "点击图片以调查可疑的地方。你必须找到所有线索才能继续。"

  old "No, but you might have good intuition."
  new "的确，但你或许有敏锐的直觉。"

  old "She snorts."
  new "她哼了一声。"

  old "I promise I'll speak up if I see someone 'putting the boot in'."
  new "我保证，如果我看到有人在“落井下石”，我会挺身而出。"

  old "Investigate:\n\nHand outline\nSplotch\nEye\nOther Symbols"
  new "调查:\n\n手掌外形\n色斑\n眼睛\n其它符号"

  old "Since when did you believe in all that stuff?"
  new "你什么时候开始信这些了？"

  old "You're my expert here. Is this stuff connected? What does it mean? Who's behind it? And how do we make it stop?"
  new "现在你是我这的专家。这些事情之间有关联吗？这表明了什么？是谁在背后操作？我们怎么才能阻止？"

  old "All right."
  new "没问题。"

  old "I think that's all I can work out from this scene right now."
  new "我想，目前能从这场景中理清的就这些了。"

  old "Did I snap at her just then? I didn't mean to."
  new "我刚才是不是对她发火了？我并不是故意的。"

  old "Ah, the papers say 'knick-knacks'."
  new "这个嘛，文件里说是‘小玩意儿’。"

  old "If there's any organisation, I'm not seeing it. There's some cookbooks, a field guide to edible wild plants, a book of baseball legends for children..."
  new "如果说这是分类排放的，我是真没看出来。书架上有一些烹饪书、一本野生可食植物的指南，还有一本为孩子们编写的棒球传奇故事书……"

  old "I wish that were true."
  new "至少我是这么期盼的。"

  old "I come in through the front door, clutching a phone bill and two ads for yard work that were shoved into my mailbox."
  new "我从前门进来，手里抓着一张电话账单和两张塞进我邮箱里的园艺广告。"

  old "... I'd better hurry back to the car."
  new "…我最好还是赶紧回到车里吧。"

  old "I don't know. Teenager."
  new "我不知道。就青少年。"

  old "Is that sardonyx?"
  new "那是萨多石吗？"

  old "I'll add them to my list."
  new "我会把这些石头记在清单上的。"

  old "She's trying to be helpful, I think."
  new "我猜她是想帮上忙。"

  old "Well. We'll look into it."
  new "行。我们会接着调查的。"

  old "She shakes her head, with only the faintest smile, and leaves."
  new "她摇摇头，脸上带着淡淡的笑，离开了办公室。"

  old "It's... a lot of junk. Not really antiques, just... stuff. Old. Used. A little bit dusty."
  new "这里......堆了很多杂物，不是什么古董，就是些......物件。老旧的、二手的。稍微积了点灰。"

  old "Jackie pulls up along the side of the road and switches off the engine, letting the car settle into silence."
  new "杰基把车停在路边，熄火的车子渐渐安静下来。"

  old "I'm sorry I don't have a compass."
  new "我很抱歉我没带指南针。"

  old "I tuck the wallet away and adjust the strap on my shoulder, getting everything in respectable order."
  new "我把钱包收好，调整了一下肩上的带子，把一切整理得井井有条。"

  old "Whatever they were doing, they weren't trying to start a bigger fire."
  new "无论在做什么，这些人显然不想引发大型火灾。"

  old "We walk a little further, and then Jackie raises a hand."
  new "我们又向前走了一段路，然后杰基举起了手。"

  old "I love my aunt, but she's never heard of a short conversation."
  new "我爱我的阿姨，但她从来不知道什么叫长话短说。"

  old "Of course."
  new "当然。"

  old "Oh, they're not so bad. Even the troublemakers usually just want someone to pay attention {nw}"
  new "哦，他们没有那么坏。即使是那些调皮捣蛋的，通常也只是想要引起别人的注意{nw}。"

  old "It's quieter than I imagined. Cleaner, as well, though I wouldn't tell Mr. Williams that. It really looks a lot like any other big office out there, with all the workers in jackets and ties shuffling their papers."
  new "这里比我想象的要安静，也更干净。不过我不会跟威廉姆斯先生说这个。这里看起来就和其他地方的大办公室没什么两样，都是些穿着夹克、打着领带的工作人员忙着整理文件。"

  old "Yes, ma'am. Sorry about that."
  new "你说得对，女士。是我冒犯了。"

  old "They don't pay for themselves overnight, either. One-third of the advance when I sign a contract, one-third when they accept my manuscript, and the last third doesn't come in until the book is published."
  new "这些书也不是一晚上就能结清的。签合同时预付我三分之一，接收手稿时三分之一，最后的三分之一要等书出版了才会到账。"

  old "No, I'm fine. I do have work to get done tonight. She's supposed to call me tomorrow."
  new "不，我没事。我今晚确实有工作要做，她明天应该会打电话给我。"

  old "Jackie leans over, her arm brushing mine. She doesn't seem to notice."
  new "杰基俯身过来，胳膊不小心擦到我的手臂。她似乎没有注意到。"

  old "She walks up to the ticket window, pulling her badge out of her pocket."
  new "她走到售票口前，从口袋里拿出了警徽。"

  old "I'm more interested in what we'll discover at the Lucky Penny."
  new "我更感兴趣的是幸运便士店，也许能在那找到什么。"

  old "It's only mid-afternoon. What am I supposed to do? Go home and then come back? That seems like a waste."
  new "现在才下午，我该怎么办？回家再过来吗？那样太浪费时间了。"

  old "I'm not psychic, you know."
  new "你知道的，我可不是通灵者。"

  old "Oh. Oh dear. That could be uncomfortable, especially if he's one of those old-fashioned types who thinks ladies should only see a sanitised version of reality. I wouldn't be able to investigate anything that way."
  new "哦，老天。听起来不妙，特别是如果他是那种老派的人，认为女士只该看到经过“美化”的现实。那样的话，我可难以展开调查。"

  old "I'm trying to quit."
  new "我有在试着戒烟。"

  old "She raises an eyebrow."
  new "她挑了挑眉。"

  old "The next moment, there's sand in the gears. All stop."
  new "下一刻，像是齿轮里卡住了沙子，一切停顿下来。"

  old "Because of that - and because of history, and personal reasons - the idea of the police has always been a little frightening. If I didn't know Mr. Williams already, I'm not sure I would have dared to step inside."
  new "正因如此，再加上历史原因和个人因素，我一直有点畏惧警察。如果没有早些认识威廉姆斯先生，恐怕我连进来的勇气都没有。"

  old "Right. I know."
  new "好，我明白。"

  old "After I find Jackie, we head out back together to take her car. Not a fancy police cruiser, just a car."
  new "找到杰基后，我们一起走到后面去开她的车。不是那种帅气的警车，就是辆普通车。"

  old "I don't laugh."
  new "我没有笑。"

  old "There's some other vases, dishes, and crockery around too. I'll note them for my list."
  new "还有一些其他的花瓶、盘子和陶器。我会把它们记在清单上的。"

  old "But Jackie started staying out later and later. She never wanted to tell me where she'd been."
  new "但是杰基在外面待的时间越来越晚。她也从没想过告诉我她去哪了。"

  old "We met in college. Good old Tiger State (Go Tigers!), since neither of us could have afforded a private university. It was public in-state tuition or nothing."
  new "我们在大学相遇。那是在美好的“老虎州”（冲啊，老虎队！）。因为我们两个都负担不起私立大学，所以要么选择州内公立大学，要么没书读。"

  old "The onsite team said it looked like some kind of blood paste. Didn't smell like makeup. They took a sample for the lab before the site was cleaned up."
  new "现场团队表示这像是某种血液糊状物。闻起来不像化妆品。在清理现场之前，他们取了样本送去实验室化验。"

  old "I don't know her!"
  new "我不了解她！"

  old "So. Here we are. Just the two of us."
  new "所以，情况就是如此。现在只有我们两个人。"

  old "That's different."
  new "这不一样。"

  old "I can't control that last part no matter how fast I work. Editing, cover art, printing, delivery, that's all out of my hands. There's a lot of waiting."
  new "不管我写得多快，书的出版也不是我能控制的。编辑、封面设计、印刷、配送，这些都不在我掌握之中。总是要等待。"

  old "No. I'm not alone. I have Timmy."
  new "不，我不是独自一人。我还有提米。"

  old "I sketch as many of the symbols as I can into my notebook for later reference."
  new "我在笔记本上尽可能画出这些符号，以备之后参考。"

  old "While I'm here, I make other notes of the little details photographs couldn't tell me. Birdsong, tree shapes, everything I can see and hear from this location."
  new "在这里，我还记下了那些照片无法捕捉到的小细节，比如鸟鸣、树木的形状，还有一切我能在这看到或听到的。"

  old "He brings out a manila folder filled with papers, photographs, and blocky black-and-white Xeroxes of handwritten reports."
  new "他拿出一个马尼拉文件夹，里面装满文件、照片和黑白复印手写报告。 "

  old "I look down at the introductory notes. 'The Lucky Penny'. I've never heard of it, at least not that I can remember, although the map in the file folder shows it's only a little ways from a nice little shopping street where I found a cute dress once."
  new "我低头看着介绍便签。“幸运零钱”。我从没听说过这个店铺，至少不记得有它。虽然文件夹里的地图显示，这个店铺离一条可爱的购物街很近，在那我找到了一条漂亮的裙子。"

  old "I grabbed him by the scruff of his little neck and dragged him back - "
  new "我抓住了他的后脖颈，把他拖了回来——"

  old "Do you know what the shop sells?"
  new "你知道店铺里卖些什么吗？"

  old "She told me that when there's bad juju on a case, it would be dangerous to bring a Sensitive on board. Wouldn't want an investigator to wind up possessed by demons."
  new "她告诉我，如果案件上有不祥的“邪气”，带上一个具有超感官能力的人会很危险。毕竟，谁也不想让一个调查员最后被恶魔附身吧。"

  old "When you take a couple thousand freshmen and split them into sections, the sections are still enormous. I don't know how many other students were in our class, but there were a lot, and I never knew them. I wouldn't even have recognised them the next year."
  new "就算你把几千个新生分成不同的班级，每个班都还是很庞大。我不知道班上有多少其他班的学生，但肯定很多，而我从来没跟这些人打过招呼。到第二年，我甚至都认不出这些人的脸。"

  old "Those are the four classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. And that's not what's supposed to be drawn inside a hand."
  new "这是四种经典元素：土、气、火和水。它们不应该画在手的上方才对。"

  old "I guess the hardest part is how much she's changed - and how much she hasn't."
  new "我觉得最让人难受的地方在于她已经与以往大不相同——但又有很多地方和从前一样。"

  old "The symbols on the ground don't look like Futhark runes, though."
  new "但是，地上的符号看起来不像是卢恩文字。"

  old "Oh, an Enchanted World book about alchemy! I've seen these. They're not as comprehensive or reliable as the folklore guides I own, but they have nice pictures and they make the history of magic more accessible to young readers."
  new "喔，这本《魔法世界》系列的书，讲的是炼金术！我见过这些书。它们不像我拥有的那些民间传说指南那么全面或可靠，但插图很精美，而且它们让年轻读者更容易接触到魔法历史。"

  old "I've never been inside a police department before. I never did any sort of crime as a child, and I've been lucky enough never to be a victim as an adult. I'm the sort that usually stays out of trouble."
  new "我以前从没进过警察局。我从小就是个乖孩子，很幸运长大后也没被卷入什么事件中。我是那种不喜欢惹麻烦的人。"

  old "Nobody left a note saying 'I did it!', huh?"
  new "没人留下“是我干的！”之类的字条，对吧？"

  old "I thought she had a juvenile record, but maybe I was wrong, or maybe those don't count."
  new "我本来记得她有过青少年犯罪记录，不过可能是记错了，或者那些记录根本没影响。"

  old "Yes, sir - {fast}ah, Mr. Williams -{w=0.5}{nw}"
  new "好的，先生——{fast}啊，威廉姆斯先生——{w=0.5}{nw}"

  old "She pushes in the cigarette knob, waits a few seconds for it to pop back up, then pulls out the lighter and presses it to the tip."
  new "她按下点烟器，等了几秒钟，直到它弹回去，接着拔出打火器，将烟头按在上面。"

  old ">> IN ORDER TO UNLOCK YOUR FULL ENERGY POTENTIAL, YOU FIRST HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF."
  new ">> 要释放你所有潜藏的能量，首先你必须学会爱自己。"

  old "Jackie Morales."
  new "杰基·莫拉莱斯。"

  old "Timmy the dog?"
  new "狗狗提米？"

  old "So my heroines tend to love 'em and leave 'em - men and women both."
  new "所以我的女主角们往往是“爱了就走”——无论是对男人还是女人。"

  old "There's a collection of old toys shoved under a table. From the price tags, they appear to be mostly worthless."
  new "桌子底下堆着一堆旧玩具。从价格标签来看，大多不值钱。"

  old "But my hand pauses over one of my own novels - {i}The Kingdom of the Sun{/i}."
  new "但我的手停在了一本自己的小说上——{i}《太阳帝国》{/i}。"

  old "I don't think there'd be a lot of high-end jewelry for sale in that neighborhood, so it's probably a small local designer. Maybe the owner is the artist."
  new "我不觉得那附近会有很多高端珠宝出售，所以这大概是一个小型的本地设计师店铺。也许店主就是那个设计师。"
